About the artist

Ren Zi’s work explores the inner universe within each of us through the lens of mythology and themes of ceed, nation, homeland,home, tribe, family, motherfather and selfness. The scenery in his works represent the psychic landscapes (or as the artist prefers, psi-scapes) each telling a profound story of the human journey.
