Trained in Chinese ink painting, Zhou studied the art from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in Shaanxi province.

Zhou has also worked as a marketing and branding specialist for brands such as Clarins and Aupres, prior to founding his own brand in 2010.

Besides Mr Hua & Mrs Hua, Zhou also has Feng Ma Niu, an art brand that advocates "being oneself and being creative".

A fan of the Art Deco style, Zhou's artwork is full of vibrant colors and vivid characters.

He is also influenced by Andy Warhol.
