One of Jia’s favorite subjects to paint is cityscapes. Her paintings showcase the energy of a bustling street during rush hour, with people moving in different directions and the city traffic in full swing. She aims to capture the essence of a city in motion, with its vibrant colors and luminous light.

Jia feels that modern life can be overwhelming and fast-paced, leaving little time for people to appreciate and experience the world around them. Therefore, her paintings aim to highlight the beauty and excitement of city life from a different perspective.

City stories told through Jia’s brushwork are accomplished by capturing both the intricate details and the grand scale of a cityscape. In her paintings, she zooms in on the fine details of the scene, highlighting street signs and neon advertisements on storefronts. This attention to detail creates a sense of intimacy with the city and its people. At the same time, the artist also provides an overview of the cityscape, conveying the energy and liveliness of the urban environment. Through her skillful use of color and perspective, she creates a dynamic interplay between the foreground and background elements, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the vibrant world she has created.—
