While he studied classic Chinese ink painting at university in Taipei, Chiang Ming-shyan was under the instruction of famed painters such as Pu Xinyu and Huang Junbi. He later traveled a lot in Europe and the United States to learn oil painting. Thereafter he built a visual language of his own that blends the spirit of Chinese ink art and Western paintings.
