NAME: GOOD STYLE CREATIVE CO., LTD. PROFILE: I like to think about how to integrate the interface of human life, landscape environment and space with public art from the creative process, and create a public art that can bring people good mood and memory through different types of creation and design. Balance makes the work a medium of emotional connection between man and nature. I believe that creativity will always be the forerunner of the progress of the times. Public art explains not only a creative idea, but also must contain the connotation of art and the rigorous craft spirit. This is my pure belief, attitude, and persistence. I hope that every creation, besides the process of pursuing excellence and perfection, is also an eternal classic. |
