Dream of success gives artist a unique vision

One of his favorites features a vintage car full of strawberry cream cake in the front.

In the painting, Zhang pictured himself sitting in a car lifted by hot air balloons, drifting from a dark backdrop into the dusk, with farmlands below.

"The contrast of the all-black and dusk background represents the transition from a dream into a fantastical world. It's part of my desire to express the possibilities of the human experience as much as I could," he says.

He stresses that the new series reflects his playful and experimental attitude and hopes it can engage the audience in narratives that spark more reflections on dreams and the human experience.
