Tan, a traditional wonderful artist who has won the fig -like painting and paintings between portraits and the story, is his “Lord there” an exhibition, and his work is his religion. He shared 10 selections from his religious portfolio, which indicates how deeply inspired by the Bible.

Among them, there was a “dry bone valley” inspired by Ezekiel 37: 1-10. “Lion, lamb, king” was inspired by Revelation 5: 5 and 53: 7. “Forgive” inspired by John 8: 3-7. “Temptation” inspired by Matthew 4: 1-11. “Religion” inspired by the Genesis 22: 1-19. Inspired by “40th”, Matthew 4: 1. “Blessing” and Luka 6: 20-23 were inspired. “In search of sanctuary” inspired by Rome 11: 33-36. “Carrying the cross together” was inspired by Matthew 27: 31-32. “Paraclet reception” inspired by John 16:13.
