Artists go through the epidemic period, the changes in life and emotions are transformed from the inner self, and create artworks after repeating it. The art forms of different stages in the past and the life of the ambulance service cases have become the inspiration for the artist's creation. The path of creation has gone from realism to abstraction. The presentation of the works reflects the internalization and continuous dialogue between the artist and his works. The early series of works "Odor" is a record of the path.

 

The artist is drawn by the consciousness into a state of meditation when creating, which is a process of self-awareness in the turbulent world. The artist tried to remove the visualization of spiritual consciousness and demonstrates how to clarify the relationship between personal spirit and society. Through reflection and translation of spiritual complexity back to the artist, while depicting energy beyond the image, it pursues the precision of the composition of the technical period and creates an organic landscape about exploring the inner self.

 

This kind of practice enables the paintings to reversely involve the artist's self in the process, artist invests a lot of energy that is absorbed in life and quickly put into sketches, and then uses acrylic to create on the canvas, bringing out the recent series "Breath". In the process of painting, the subject and object are repeatedly replaced and guided by each other, presenting a strong connection between things and the artist, redefining the relationship between self and painting, and realizing the vastness of self to the universe in the derivation of painting behavior, finding a new balance of perception while expanding self-spiritual value.

 

After 10 years of persistence and pursuit of art, the artist has found his painting language and symbols to record the society, environment, and events. At the same time, he also hopes to be inspired by events and events, different regions, time, and space, to create and find his own utopia.
