After graduating from Fine Arts studies in China, he moved to France in 1988 and enrolled at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Feng was later invited to teach at the same institution from 1997 to 2000. After that, he decided to give up teaching to focus entirely on his own creations.[3]
Feng has published numerous books on paintings and calligraphy. And some of his paintings had been chosen to be integrated into French school manuals.

In 2003-2004, he participated in a joint exhibition with the French photographer Marc Riboud at the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.[4] He also exhibited in the Jing'an Sculpture Park Art Center,[5] in Shanghai, and in Hong Kong, alongside of works from French-Chinese artists such as Zao Wou-Ki and Chu Teh-Chun.[6]
His artworks are collected and presented in various private and public collections, including galleries,[7] museums and foundations, in France and abroad. Feng frequently exhibits at international art fairs and biennales and was commissioned to produce work for the 2017 BRICS summit.[8]
