Weight lifter, body builder with bar bell. Yaohui Wu was born on November 2, 1964 in China. Passionate about painting, calligraphy and sculpture, he turned to boxwood carving under the tutelage of master Jinshun Yu. The works (more than 200 works created to date) by Yaohui Wu are largely inspired by Chinese art in its infancy and then they evolve by combining traditional art and the spirit of modern art. He has participated in numerous national and international competitions and in 2012 he won the title of Best Craftsman in China by the Chinese Arts and Crafts Association.
