In the “2025 National Games: Passion and Glory” series, I capture the vitality and passion of the Games through vibrant colors and dynamic compositions. These illustrations showcase thrilling moments across various sports, blending traditional and modern elements to reflect the athletes' fighting spirit and the beauty of teamwork. My artistic style emphasizes detail and emotional expression, allowing viewers to feel the tension and excitement of competition through precise depictions of athletes and lively scene layouts. I prefer bright, contrasting tones to enhance the energy of each piece, making every illustration leap off the page. This series pays tribute to the 2025 National Games and offers a profound reflection on the spirit of sports, inspiring viewers to experience the joy and strength of athleticism.

The Joy of Leaping
The athlete is depicted mid-air during a volleyball strike, symbolizing energy and determination. Iconic landmarks of Guangzhou serve as the backdrop, while bright orange and blue colors accentuate the game’s high-energy environment. Confetti enhances the festive atmosphere, celebrating both the sport and the city.

Fusion in Motion
This artwork captures the energy of breakdancing, depicting a dancer in a gravity-defying handstand split. The background features traditional Guangzhou delicacies and nostalgic images of old newspapers, blending contemporary culture with historical roots. The striking contrast between the dancer's bright attire and the soft tones of the background enhances the celebration of breakdancing as both a cultural and athletic event.

Macau: Table Tennis in Motion
This illustration captures the high-energy spirit of table tennis, with Macau’s night skyline as the backdrop. The athlete’s mid-motion emphasizes the speed of the sport, while the glowing Golden Lotus monument adds to the dramatic scene.

Elegance in Motion: Guangzhou's Rhythm
This illustration features a rhythmic gymnast performing with a hoop, set against Guangzhou’s iconic landmarks like the Canton Tower and Pearl River Bridge. Intertwined with red kapok flowers, the city flower, the gymnast symbolizes resilience. Fireworks illuminate the sky, creating a celebratory atmosphere with warm tones of red and gold. The circular composition guides the viewer’s eye smoothly through the scene
