The Author’s Preface
The moment
that I start taking my brush, my soul is seemingly separated from the secular
world. In paintings, the body and divine spirit combine together. At encounters
between lines and ink, instantly, I become so involved, knowing neither time
passing by nor the space where I am.
About each
painting’s conception and process, inspiration comes from dreams or occasional
imagery revelation. It seems that there are mysterious drives and forces which
cause unstoppable expressive impulses as if in an instant they go free through
boundless space.
One
successful painting is composed of many necessary factors, from details about
rhymes with lines, ink and colours, to the whole work of expression of inner
languages and in-depth substances. How I start entering the world of paintings
originates from infatuation with beauty. A painting can express itself as if it
speaks millions of words. Using paintings to represent beauty and speak beauty
is, for me, a state of the most beautiful expression.
Materials of work are not involved with deliberate
selection. Substances of paintings are produced coming from inner inspiration.
All pictures from golden Tang Dynasty to Dunhuang murals have attracted me to
continue exploring. The situation is just like continuously-connected “dreams
caused by former life.” All inspiration comes naturally. This is also the deal
state in which I can completely express my soul languages. In making art, I am
often enlightened by poems and rhymes. The Tang Dynasty’s flying beautiful
ladies, the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha are like stairs which help me with deep
exploration of soulful realms. Poems, music, dance and inspirational thinking
also often lead me to cross space and time and then enter intangible dreams of
paintings. In “intangible realms” of paintings, there are two types —— one is
for form; and the other is for artistic mood. In the former type, when
composition of paintings is processing, leaving white space is to create a
sense of void which can lead to limitless imagination. This is about a
minimalist brush technique and pictorial language. In the latter type, a state
of imagery artistic language is shown. It is a kind of intangible poetic state
which surpasses space and time and links with invisible a mysterious energy.
Therefore, only using drives and forces of emotions from soul to complete
paintings can generate a resonance in soul and mind with viewers —— the way
which is the most brilliant and perfect for connection.
In fact, paintings are a revelation of imagery of soul
and mind and are guided by following soul. This is why the passion for making
art can go on continuously. Techniques can solidly provide strength to work. As
long as techniques and inspiration go together harmoniously, a superb painting
can be produced.
Inspiration
is like wings for creativity. Without bright and strong wings, it is impossible
to fly freely. Style doesn’t need to be shaped on purpose because a truly
self-soulful world can finally make it. Expressing self in a truthful way can
bring about uniqueness of paintings. Unique style is certainly a beauty
resembling nature.
The highest aim of art is to explore the deepest and
widest life journey through creativity as well to highlight the ideal path of
inner realms. Therefore, the way of making my paintings is also the road of
self-discipline aiming to reach soulful realms.
