Sheng Aiping, Zhous mother, is also a rock painting artist and has worked in the field for over 20 years.
I inherited my mothers skills…but I still want to make some more bold breakthroughs, Zhou shared, adding that compared to her mothers Chinese-style rock art paintings which embodies the artistic style of her generation, she has created more fashionable and simpler paintings, catering to the preferences of young people.
