Art Philosophy

Artistic Statement
My practice of “Imagery Oil Painting” is a conscious pursuit of “Tian Ren He Yi” (Unity of Heaven and Humanity). Moving beyond the binary logic of Western rationalism, I aim to dissolve the boundary between the observer and the observed.
Likeness in Unlikeness (不似之似): My forms exist in the delicate space between representation and abstraction. Each brushstroke follows a calligraphic rhythm—capturing the hidden “breath” of nature.
Poetic Light (诗意光色): The colors in my work are not scientific records of light, but emotional atmospheres. They evoke the “Vivid Resonance” (Qi Yun) of classical ink painting, translated through the rich texture of oil on canvas.
My paintings are silent poems. When words end, the soul begins.
