First of all, congratulations for your beautiful collections of painting.
Is it your first time here in the United Arab Emirates? Do you like them?
It is my fourth time here. I like this country, so decide again to be back with an UAE TOUR: it’s starting from Sharjiah Emirate and it will continue in the others one.
The main subjects of your #art works are flowers: beautiful, colourful, shining, big and small, with such a real details. Could you tell us the reason of your inspiration?
Yes, it’s true. I love painting flowers in every particular and size. The reason is written in my name: Mei is from a word that means painting, yan describes flowers, so my name means painting flowers and it is an artist name. Also as a woman, my sensitive is very strong and across my painting I can achieve my interior trip, because through them I can introduce myself.
