The beauty of Ping’s art fosters the awareness that individuals with autism can not only possess great talent but also be as different from each other as “typical” people. He has an amazing talent to speak to us visually in ways that language could never articulate. Ping work bridges preconceived ideas about human differences and abilities.

Through his artistic genius, Ping Lian is the living embodiment of God's creativity on earth.

Joann Masterson Director of Art Interactions, USA
Ping, I was almost moved to tears when I learned about you and your talent. I actually got goose bumps all over. I have worked with children with ASD and other disabilities for 12 years. In the beginning of this month, my company and I started an art class (Art Interactions) and I am so excited to hang one of your signed prints in our office. You are an inspiration to me and I am sure my students will be as well. Thank you so much for making my experience worth the trip from New Jersey to California! With much love,...

A year working with Ping Lian Yeak has been very challenging and since grown into a very interesting learning process, the journey has been smooth but gone through a lot of trials and errors. At times, the exercises were experimental and never a guaranteed success. Many failures encountered, but my curiosity grew and to the point made me very determine. Many uncertain terrains had to be tested and learned through slowly but surely. It has also brought my conviction to the real test.

Ping Lian is a very energetic and lovable boy. A teacher of him, I am very much impress with his spontaneous and immediate expressive artistic energy. I did not teach him a set of rigid techniques and overly concerned with precision of execution only, but also we work along with variety experimental working direction and approaches from conventional to unconventional way.

The past one year only getting him to be expressive and comprehensive. His paintings and drawings communicate to us so much feelings and emotions which are visceral and sincerely felt organic experiences which we never had time almost forgot in today's rat race world.

Ping Lian is an extraordinary young man. His drawings and paintings are so original and inspiring, each telling a story of their own. To see the world through his eyes, in its freshness and naivety, before all our attitudes and preconceptions were formed is truly thought provoking, yet humbling

By Dr. Laurence A. Becker [2009]
Dr. Becker has worked with various autistic savant artists for over 30 years. Yet he was astonished in 2005 when a large box of Ping Lian's amazing pen and ink and watercolor art arrived unannounced at his door.

“… his amazing pen and ink and watercolor art arrived unannounced at my door. Ping Lian's colors, the detail, and the diversity of subject matter are truly extraordinary.   From the Twin Towers to the Sydney Opera House, to animals and people and even Santa Claus and his reindeer, delightful renditions of his subjects enlighten and amaze the beholder.  And to watch him work is to see a flurry of activity and concentration…”
