"The so-called art is the kind of sight, hearing, hallucination, smell that you like that evokes pleasure... Or the form of matter that you can touch. For example, a piece of silk, a cloud, a cup of coffee, a thick ink... Meyer's paintings may be designed or produced, and her interests and inspiration materials are mostly taken from or influenced by late Renaissance paintings. Her depictions are delicate, but also free-spirited and subtly soft with colours. In her work of a person on her knees in prayer, she uses the folds of her clothing to present mutilated parts of her body, whose colors, light, and lines are seamlessly soft. She depicts imaginary cloth that is bound, wrapped, or stretched to convey and deconstruct the form and content they surround, so that the "ghost" wrapped in clothing becomes a great way for Meyer to challenge formalism. In his discussion of Meyer's work, Alové said that women are absent and present; they are missing and given, highlighting the great artistic tension and the delicate charm of women. The design and production of art forms, in Chinese paintings, are also permeated with the silk of Meyer's hands or the formal language of different fields. For example, the black-and-white combination of printmaking of Chinese painter Jia Youfu landscape painting; the paper-cut elements of painter Jia Pingxi's flower and bird paintings; and the flower and bird paintings of painter Cui Zifan are full of rich taste of woodboard ink, etc. They constantly improve their painting concepts in the conflict between form and content, emotion and ideal, skill and personality, so as to form a flat form with cultural connotation and complete the artistic mission of unique personality. ”
