Zhang Jinyue paints at home in Beijing, capital of China, Aug. 8, 2021. Zhang Jinyue, who graduated from Beijing International Studies University in 2020 and currently lives in Beijing, is an illustrator and fashion designer. In Zhang's view, art design is a medium to build self-worth and express her emotions. Besides art creation, Zhang also runs an online shop. All the products sold in Zhang's shop are designed by herself. Painting, handicrafts making, clothing design, online shop operation and participation in offline art festivals are part of Zhang's work. "Sometimes when I attend an art festival and meet people wearing clothes or carrying bags of my designs, I think it is the best recognition of me," Zhang said. When she encountered a bottleneck in the design, Zhang would read art books, visit art exhibitions and communicate with senior practitioners for advice. She hopes to combine her designs with traditional Chinese culture. (Xinhua/Ren Chao)
