Yan Quan's Evaluation of Fan Chengliang

A successful painter needs talent, spiritual energy, and skill. Fan Chengliang possesses these three qualities.

A painter without talent (also known as genius) cannot enter the door of art, and even if he reluctantly enters through hard work, he will fall behind in the long-term art journey. If there is no spiritual work that is not dynamic, soulless, or rigid, then it is not a work created by a true artist. Having both of these aspects requires skill, which refers to kung fu. Many painters have kung fu, but it is a matter of how much and how deep it is. To become an artist, one must devote their entire life to striving, researching, and striving. As long as you suffer a lot and put in efforts that ordinary people cannot achieve, you will definitely succeed.

So through so many years of hard work, as far as I know, Fan Chengliang has worked hard. Finally, I wish Fan Chengliang greater success in his journey towards art.
