Some thoughts  on painting & drawings:

For me, drawing is thinking.drawing is practicing Buddhism or Taoism, You must avoid any purpose, as Buddhist meditation, calm the mind, the painting process is both time accumulated, thoughts like ripples stirred up the water, the fluctuation of the heart rate support screen tension, naturally in the show,

When I paint, my mind is clear, I feel my consciousness, my thoughts, my body and me and the world around me. In this state, my goal is to reduce pattern and technique to the most basic form of painting, the most basic level, to a very simple moment. When I draw, my mind is clear, I feel my mind, my mind, my body and me and the world around me. In this fashion, my goal is to reduce the design and technology to the most basic form of painting, the most primitive level, to become a very simple moment.

I draw and focus on the void, the negative space around the line, rather than the line itself. But still maintaining the line form and using it as space, ultimately conveying the void in its truest form. A line has the inherent potential to develop into any form; it is a line, but it is also all forms. It is the purest possibility, constantly being defined, always in a state of not yet being. I draw and focus on the empty space around the line, rather than the line. However, it is necessary to maintain the form of lines, and to form a line of space, and ultimately convey the most real form of space. A line has the potential to develop into any form; it is a line, but it is also a form. p>
