Li Liang says she has a strong impact of Chinese fine classical paintings and calligraphy. Lines has been important use for her to create forms. She says:

For me, the Chinese calligraphy gives the lines diverse visual possible and spiritual power. This power has been leading my artistic expression, building imagination: A line seems the print-tail when aircraft flying through the sky; A line is the crack on ice glacier; A line is a piece of Sunset light upon the horizon...... Line has stimulated me to discover the sequence and express the emotion from the reality.

Jie Sun actively engages in both Euro­pean and Asian design culture, as de­signer/artist, researcher and curator. He says:  

Culture has always an important position in my work, either eastern or western. I am obsessed with historic and cultural ideas and form, and tend to translate them into my objects that are meant for similar understanding in a new way. By adjusting and reusing recognizable contemporary objects and shapes, new objects, concepts, sculptures and artifacts are brought into existence. Since 2012 to early of 2014, I have created a number of extensive series that investigates the relationship of the Chinese traditional philosophy and traditional crafts with a process of making. The work seeks ways in which traditional culture can be utilized as a source of artistic inspiration for contemporary jewellery.
