The entire nature is constantly in motion. Its essence is ambiguous, incomprehensible and inexhaustible!
Although my work is not directly correlated to reality but it never departs from people and people’s feelings. Nor does it departs from the core poetic theme. Instead, it is an abstraction formed by accumulation of thousands of years of Chinese’s reflection upon nature. This experience is in turn transformed into an abstract vocabulary accomplished through infusion of the traditional ink art essence. Regardless of the time and space we live in, man’s interest and pursue for the ultimate meaning is always necessary. I believe that returning to such poetics, connecting to the nature and exploration into eternal value will always remain as timeless subjects.
