Lissa Mel was born and grew up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. At 10 years of age, she immigrated to Petah Tikva, Israel. She then spent more than ten years living in Tel Aviv. Her mother, a visual artist, taught Mel how to draw realistically when she was only 4 years old. By 8 years old, Mel painted on large canvases with acrylic paint. During her early life, she also practiced gymnastics and read a lot about science. Her high school studies focused on physics, chemistry, and biology. In college, she explored her creative gifts and majored in painting, sculpture, and cinema.

Her love of physical performance and science would later influence her art, an ongoing investigation of matter at a molecular level, where particles dance in a vast field of energy. “I’m interested in capturing the peak moment of performance,” says Mel, “The physical perfor- mance mirrors the waves of matter at its vibrational state. A wave oscillates; when I express its peak, what happens before and after the peak is left to the imagination.” The swirling of the atoms, or the dance between the feminine and masculine energies, is often depicted in Mel’s work. The human body is a vessel that both contains and performs the dance of the natural realm.

Mel currently resides in California’s Santa Monica. Using her abstract and figurative perceptions of this Universal Movement, she creates large paintings and sculptures that generate their own vibrancy and their own life force.

Following his graduation, he took a position as Assistant Professor of Art at Tibet University. He spent seven years in Tibet and spent a year living alone in mountain caves of Ali, West Tibet, so he could copy the remains of ancient Tibetan wall paintings of the Guge kingdom.[3]

In 1989, he went over to Japan after a private exhibition of Beijing. He continued producing “The Split Layer of Earth – Mount Kailas” series while he was engaged in the wall painting production of the commerce space. The notable work produced aqua fantasy of 60mx 4 m in Yokosuka Daiei in 1991 and produced dragons of 50mx 8 m in Ise Bunkamura in 1993. In 1992, he held a private exhibition in the O ART Museum of Tokyo.

In 1994, Cao went to the United States and held a private exhibition in Synchronicity Space of the New York SOHO. In 1999, he established Cao Yong Editions Inc in LA. In 2002, he produced “Freedom” in the anniversary of 9/11 terrorist incidents. “Free-Freedom” received Artist of the Year 2002, and Cao received an “Outstanding Volunteer” prize and a letter of thanks from the Los Angeles Fire Department (from a total of 118 stations).

Cao produced an oil painting, “We The People”, in commemoration of the Federal Constitution memorial day in 2005. In 2006, he was conferred the “2006 Inspiration Award” from the International Leadership Foundation (ILF).

In 2008, he produced “Voice of the East”. The painting was selected by the Olympic committee to print on china and use as a special gift for the VIPs who attended the Olympics. Cao produced “Love without border” for the Sichuan earthquake.

The Forest Lawn Museum located at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California has showcased a retrospective of acclaimed Chinese immigrant Cao Yong’s original oil paintings that explore his own, highly personal journey to Tibet, Japan, India, Nepal, China, Cairo, France, Italy and the United States over a 30-year period. “Art Without Boundaries” by Cao Yong, Citizen of the World will be showing from July 27, 2017 – December 14, 2017.[4]
