Lee Jun-Wei
- Taiwan
In 1985, Jun-Wei was seriously injured in a motor accident that resulted in a fracture of the cervical vertebrae, leaving him with paralysis in his arms and legs. In 1988, he began painting with his mouth, marking the beginning of his artistic journey.
In 1991, he was awarded a scholarship from the Association, which allowed him to focus more deeply on developing his artistic skills. In 1998, his accomplishments were recognised with his acceptance as an Associate Member of the VDMFK.
Jun-Wei paints in the traditional Chinese style, favouring subjects such as luxuriant flowers, majestic mountain landscapes, and delicate compositions of blossoms accompanied by birds or fish. His works are distinguished by their harmony, sensitivity, and the creative energy evident in their composition.
His art has earned him considerable success. In addition to participating in numerous group exhibitions, he has organised many solo exhibitions in his homeland, drawing significant public interest and acclaim.
