Yan‘s creations are rooted in subconscious depictions, which embrace memories of his hometown, his love of literature, and his intuition for color. Past experiences are silently woven into his images, forming his unique painting language. The events in his works are not given with standard answers, but rather the viewers are expected to communicate with the images based on their own experiences. His works were collected by He Art Museum, Guan Dongyuan, etc. He is the exclusive agent artist of Soka Art.
