"The art circle is small. So, I find that working with brands takes my art to larger audiences," says Liang.
When Liang was in Rome doing research on fresco art in Europe last autumn, she was invited by Rolls-Royce to be one of the seven artists from across the globe to create an artwork for its new motor car Phantom's glass dashboard, as part of a project called The Gallery.
Liang did an oil painting called Autumn Palette on a thin and long board, featuring leaves and flower petals, which was inspired by her visit to the Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood, England.
It took her six months to complete the work in which she used techniques she had learned while studying Italian frescoes.
The scroll-like oil painting features Liang's repetition of patterns－leaves and flowers.
However, the artist says she wants to offer viewers a journey-like experience.
