“When I am asked why I paint, I reply that art is part of the process of life. It comes from this process and goes back to it.” —Maxime Zhang

Born in China in 1967, the painter and photographer Maxime Zhang chose France as his host country and that of his expression. He was very swiftly inspired by abstraction as practiced by Western painters, even as he combined it with the art forms of his ancestors—the artists from the Tang and Song periods—as well as a genuine spirituality. This volume thrusts us into his paintings of great creative freedom, wherein light prevails and guides the viewer.
