Majid’s work is transformative. The mastery that has developed from years of prolific work and contemplation has developed into something unique. Majid’s lavish strokes and vibrant pigments compel the canvas into motion that tease out of chaos a sense of order.
Johanna Goodman
“There is an open space of time in between natural events and monuments where magic is possible. We mark time with repetition of these events, like the sun rising each day. The natural world is, for me, a mirror of the spirit. In my work I go into the in-between time, choosing to hold it, while animating my vision of it. In this most exciting time of becoming and anticipation, I see the beauty of the spirit when it is set free and all dreams are possible.”

Born in Guangzhou (Canton) in 1937, Pan studied art from an early age and is still actively involved in local art communities.
