The mix of contemporary art and traditional Chinese water and ink painting quickly made Peng stand out in the art world. She has held solo shows in many museums on the mainland, at Art Basel and in the National Museum of History in Taiwan.
The female aesthetic in her works has also attracted many luxury brands like Gurlain, Chinese clothing brand Exception and Italian shoe brand Sergio Rossi to work with her.
Peng says her skills in ink painting are largely influenced by her father, but she has finally developed her own style. They are separate individuals in art world.
But one thing remains the same: She and her father devote every possible minute to painting.
"It's a funny game for me," she says.
She also paints many stones, which she says have a resemblance to her father: Stones change when looked at from different angles, but they are still the same stones.
