I started to practice on drawing circles about five years ago, using ink on rice paper. Since this year, I have been working on this subject on canvas and, the new series

About My Paintings
After being a visual artist for about 20 years, I have come to realize that the painting as a medium works better for me to express myself. When painting, I enjoy its spontaneity and its expressiveness. Also, after being an artist for years, I have come to know what kind of aesthetic value I want to achieve in my paintings and, it is the simplicity. With this thoughts in mind, the colors I used in my paintings are reduced to three, the black, the white and the gold. The richness of black and white I find in the Chinese painting and calligraphy, as well as in black and white photography. The color of gold reminds me the ultimate light source from the sun. In my paintings, the nature is the inspiration as well as the subject. When painting, I tend to focus on a simple scene, leaving space for imagination. As to the surface of a painting, I like it to be smooth, so to serve the purpose of calmness in the nature and in my mind. But, sometimes, I do add texture, when it is necessary.
Regarding the color of grey:
Between the colors of black and white, there are many shades of grey. The color of grey dominates in my paintings. When painting, I enjoy blending the black and white into different hues of grey, enjoy seeing many tones of grey. Sometimes the lighter grey overcasts the darker one, other times the grey is sharply contrasted with each other. But, most times, the greys are melted with each other into one harmonic scene.
The color of grey reminds me a raining day, a day I would like to sit by the window, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, watching the rain floating outside. Sometimes after dark, I see myself in a dream of grey field, everything around blurred, softened. Often, the color of grey directs me to look up to the sky, letting my eyes wandering the clouds...
The color of grey calms me, my mind, my soul.
Through my paintings, I wish to bring a calmness to the busy world.
