I am fascinated by the view of nature. Looking outside through the window, I see trees are moving with the wind, birds are flying, clouds are walking, and sun is shining on leaves. There are countless viewpoints seeing the nature in different places, time and moments.
I use ink on rice paper to depict landscape. The reason that I use this particular medium is that the delicate paper supports several layers of subtle brushwork and shows it authentically to the viewers. Unlike the substantial oil painting on the canvas, it makes up layers and one covers on another.
In painting, brushwork accumulates the time of the painter. Because when the painter is applying the repeated strokes, the work gradually builds up the image in his or her mind. The image/work represents the invested time. This painting that I am presenting here is no different from what I have explained. Using solely ink, the different tones of darkness reflect the texture of the object and landscape effectively.
Viewing this painting, somehow it brings me to the moment when I was standing in the forest. It is a piece of work that captures the spirit of my time.
我喜歡大自然的風景。每每向窗外望去樹隨著微風搖擺，鳥兒停息在樹上，雲朵漫步著，陽光暖和的落在初生的新芽上。窗外的景緻變換著，不同的觀者也有不同的領會及觀點。
我喜歡用水墨詮釋風景，水與墨在極敏銳的宣紙上留下無法抹去的痕跡，只增不減，如實的呈現出畫者從最先到最後的筆觸。也由於畫材的的誠懇真摯，我，畫者也得以瀟灑的轉換對自然景緻的描繪。
有時當我回顧作品時，像是又帶領我回到畫中的風景，它捕捉了不只是畫者的時間也讓觀者得以進入畫中的想像空間。
