Yang Chao, born in Chongqing in 1984, is a professional oil painter who is widely praised in the art world for his exquisite realistic figure works and elegant and refined style. His works not only capture the external image of the characters, but also deeply express the inner emotions and mental state, reflecting his pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty and the artistic principle of appreciation by both the refined and the popular. Yang Chao firmly believes that painting creation should be centered on truth, goodness and beauty, pursue tasteful and penetrating artistic expression, avoid weirdness and face the audience.

Yang Chao's artistic journey began with his deep fascination with realistic painting. He believed that realistic techniques were more suitable for expressing his artistic concepts. Even in the context of the diversification of contemporary painting styles, he still insisted on his artistic pursuit. Many of his works have been collected by private individuals and museums. One of his paintings of Sleeping Beauty was highly praised by hyper-realistic oil painting master Leng Jun for its exquisite details and penetrating expression. Leng Jun commented that "young people are formidable"

Yang Chao's oil paintings are sketched on oil paper. This technique places higher demands on the painter's skills, but also makes the works more elegant. He likes to incorporate traditional Chinese cultural elements into his paintings in order to achieve the effect of classical oil paintings. For example, the white clouds that often appear in his works are intended to create an ethereal fairyland atmosphere.

Although Yang Chao's works have reached a high level in art, the market does not seem to be very optimistic about his paintings. In an auction, one of his works, "Distance", was sold for only 4,200 yuan, although the work was perfect in both artistic conception and technique.

Yang Chao's artistic creation is not limited to oil painting. He also dabbles in the field of design, combining Chinese elements with contemporary design to create works with international aesthetic expression. He received the German DAAD Artist Scholarship to study in Germany, served as a visiting researcher at Aalto University in Finland, and obtained a doctorate in visual communication from the University of Macau. His design works have won many famous domestic and international design awards, including the German Red Dot Supreme Award, the German iF Award, and the Italian A Design Award Gold Award, and he has served as a judge for many domestic and international design competitions.

Professor Yang Chao focuses on the contemporary transformation of Chinese elements and international design expression in his design. His works show the modern charm of traditional Chinese cultural elements, such as Jingdezhen ceramics, silk, Helan Mountain rock paintings, Dunhuang murals, etc. He emphasized that Chinese elements in design should be determined according to the project theme and application scenario, and through transformation and reconstruction, they should become visual communication elements with contemporary formal beauty and be integrated with the international style framework.
