In my many years of painting creation, nature, life, and Zen have always been the themes. As a Buddhist, I explore the symbiotic relationship between human and nature. I use nature as a creative element and meticulously depict the beauty of nature to show the magnificence and beauty of nature, as well as the interdependence and mutual influence between human and nature.
" To see a world in a wild flower, and a bodhi in a leaf." is a kind of inner observation and realization. If the state of mind remains simple, stable and focused, the thoughts will become sharp and delicate with the quiet observation, even if it is from a flower or a piece of In the leaves, one can also understand the vitality and infinite meaning displayed in them.
However, in my paintings, nature is not just a simple object. "Flowers in the sky, moon in the water" are beautiful but illusory and unreal. This is the wisdom of the Buddha, which contains rich spiritual connotations and profound thinking about life.
