"I'm happy that the young artists have so many ideas and can blend their life experiences and understanding of colors in their creations," says exhibition curator Auyeung Yingchai, a famous cartoonist based in Hong Kong. "Each painting delivers positive energy that comes from deep inside the artist."

A painting by Beijing-based artist Luo Qianxi depicts her love story with her boyfriend. It has a bright rainbow above and a large dark area below.

Luo says her painting indicates how her boyfriend helped her explore the city of Beijing and gradually discover its good sides. She finally decided to stay with him in the capital, which she disliked for its bad air pollution and traffic.

The subway exhibition, which aims to bring art into daily life, is an innovative idea in itself, says Auyeung.

"We have not only given young artists a chance to show their talents, but also connect more people to art in this way," he adds.

All the artworks will be sold after the exhibitions to raise money for a charity program, which the company initiated to improve the general environment and support art education in rural schools, according to Tsai.

The paintings will be brought to Guangzhou's Yuexiu Park Station in July and Shanghai's Nanjing East Road Station in August.
