Keep Walking On The Road

Artists need to know themselves, observe themselves, and hunt for the elements in life that fit into their own emotions and feelings. Meanwhile artists also need to pursue self-enhancement. As their understanding of themselves and life constantly improved, artists must keep exploring and practicing, to find new ways of communication with the audiences.This paper, written based on my 7-year training experience in China Central Academy of Fine Arts, analyzes the reflection of "ego" in several artists’ paintings from various aspects, and concludes that the formation of "ego" is a very long but important journey. Just as the title of this paper has pointed out, an artist is a disciplinant who lives a life of pursuit and dedication.
