Painting style

Professor Stephen Farthing, a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in the U.K. has remarked that "Dr. Wang’s paintings may draw heavily on the traditions of Eastern art, but they present themselves as extraordinarily Western ideas and images", and that Dr. Wang's mastery is of exquisite magnificence and her paintings "reach across cultures to celebrate the space that exists intellectually and emotionally between representation and abstraction, between a fact and an idea."
