With 17 years of experience, Peng Zhang is a master of color composition and ambient visual storytelling. He designs color palettes that harmonize with the venue’s natural light, seasonal tones, and cultural themes – ensuring that each lantern glows with the right emotional resonance at night. His expertise transforms gate towers, mythical beasts, and zodiac figures into immersive, atmospheric experiences.

His main projects include the 2025 Wild Lights (Wichita, KS), 2024 Glow in the Park (Palm Springs, CA), and the 2024 Asian Lantern Festival (Sanford, FL).

I paint with light and color — setting the mood so that every lantern tells its story through the right hue and shadow.
