A jade carving master who has been in the industry for many years once said that jade carving is a mirror, and the state of each piece of carving can be clearly seen. This is the best understanding of jade carving creation. The creative pursuit of many jade carvers is to ensure that their works keep up with the times and have their own highlights in five, ten, or even later years. Many jade carvers hold this idea in mind and continue to move forward on the road of jade carving. To do jade carving, one needs to be exposed to and learn more knowledge in order to create better. Su Yiran realized this very early on and has always maintained the habit of studying in the Academy of Fine Arts, constantly learning various knowledge. After founding my own studio, I still think like this: “The sea embraces all rivers, and the greater it is, the more it can accommodate.” “Thinking outside of your own place and looking at things from different angles may yield unexpected gains.” Jadeite Works: Guanzizai The learning of knowledge in different fields is the foundation of the depth and background of the works. In jade carving creation, jade carvers must have the "drive" of young people, dare to constantly try new things, not limit themselves, dare to break through themselves and touch on subjects they are not good at. "Figures are my specialty. In order to try new methods of expression and explore the richness of jade carving, I began to study animals and landscapes desperately. This is also reflected in my works, and the subject matter of my works is not fixed." Jade carver Su Yiran has a mirror in his heart to compare himself, and he is confident in his own creations. As Su Yiran said, not limiting the subject matter is a feature of his work. As a student of Wang Chaoyang, he values materials, focuses on highlighting the characteristics of materials, and explores the richness of materials, but this is also a difficult point in creation. "When carving, the choice of materials is a big problem. There is no exactly the same material. Each piece is an exploration of the unknown." Jade Works: Zen Mind of Clouds and Water Jade Works: Time Passes The more difficult the work is, the more attentive it requires. Su Yiran is good at clever carving, carving according to the material, applying his skills in accordance with the material, and tapping into the beauty of the material. An impressive creative experience gave Su Yiran a deeper understanding of this. Jade Works: You Jade Works: Auspicious The colorful work "Auspicious" is a sculpture of an elephant head. Through the design of the material, the three colors of white, red and green harmoniously occupy their respective positions, showing the overall natural beauty. The combination of colors creates visual richness, and the layered treatment gives the viewer a comfortable feeling. Jadeite Works: Paradise The successful works strengthened Su Yiran's creative confidence and also made him set higher standards for himself. He continued to learn and create in order to produce better works. Jade Works: Ripples Jadeite Works: Immediate Success Jadeite Works: Water Moon Guanyin As for the future, Su Yiran hopes to realize more possibilities in creation, so he is more willing to learn the craft steadily and persist in continuous improvement. The secret of his progress is to learn from other people's excellent works and learn from their good points. "There is only one mentor, but other teachers are everywhere," said Su Yiran.
