As a full-time artist, I have worked with abstract art for more than 30 years. Initially, my focus was on figurative subjects such as figures, landscapes, and still life. However, once I encountered abstraction, I discovered my true artistic calling and devoted all my energy and enthusiasm to researching and creating abstract art. Over the past 20 years, I have painted more than 8000 abstract works in various mediums, including acrylic, oil painting, watercolor, metal, and mixed media.
In my artworks, I strive to explore self-reflection on life and experiences, as well as my observations and understanding of the world, to express visual images. My focus is often on the elements of symbolism to convey raw emotion and intuition. Abstract elements allow me to break free from the constraints of concrete painting, enabling me to express my personal thoughts more accurately and to blend rationality and sensibility fully.
I believe that abstract art strips away the familiar appearance of things, shaping and depicting the essence of feelings at a personal consciousness level, thus conveying my spiritual world more effectively. My paintings usually lack specific meanings; when creating art, I consider only visual aspects such as color, shape, and texture, never deliberately adding anything beyond the visual. The emotions in my works emerge naturally, never forced. I aim to create with the spontaneity of a child who cannot draw, a challenging approach that often yields unexpected results. Ultimately, my works are direct expressions of myself and my communication with the world.
I enjoy experimenting with various media and themes in my artworks, often starting with no specific subject in mind. This process is rooted in reality, drawing inspiration from architecture, nature, and even fragments of my previous works. Sometimes, I scrape or cover new paint over existing pieces rather than starting afresh, building new compositions and colors until the desired painting appears. This method often leads to new directions, reflecting my thought process and revealing the evolution of the work, culminating in the final piece.
Creating abstract art brings me a sense of spiritual freedom and sublimation. While immersed in the beauty of abstraction, I also endure the artist's struggle to break through personal boundaries, continually exploring and interpreting the mysteries of art and striving for improvement. Nature often captivates me and fuels my creativity.
A true artist should embody the spirit of experimentation and exploration. In my creative process, I intentionally or unintentionally challenge my previous works, refusing to conform to the aesthetic demands of the audience and collectors. I constantly seek new and unique ways of expression, exploring the essence of things and the origins of art. I believe contemporary art should transform objects into forms and symbols that express the spiritual world.
I believe there is no need for the audience to over-interpret my works, and I am reluctant to explain them extensively. What you see is what you want to see. Everyone has different experiences, interests, cultural backgrounds, and aesthetics, leading to varied perceptions of my works. It is enough for the audience to feel excitement from my art, which is precisely what I aim for.
作为一名全职艺术家,我从事抽象艺术创作已有三十多年。最初,我的创作重心是人物、风景、静物等具象题材。然而,一旦接触到抽象,我便发现了自己真正的艺术使命,并将所有的精力和热情投入到抽象艺术的研究和创作中。在过去的二十年里,我用丙烯、油画、水彩、金属和混合媒体等各种媒介创作了超过 8000 幅抽象作品。
在我的作品中,我努力探索对生活和经历的自我反思,以及对世界的观察和理解,以表达视觉形象。我经常关注象征主义的元素来传达原始的情感和直觉。抽象元素让我摆脱了具象绘画的束缚,使我能够更准确地表达个人的想法,充分融合理性和感性。
我认为抽象艺术剥去了事物熟悉的表象,在个人意识层面塑造和描绘感受的本质,从而更有效地传达我的精神世界。我的画通常缺乏特定的含义;创作艺术时,我只考虑颜色、形状和纹理等视觉方面,从不刻意添加任何视觉之外的东西。我作品中的情感自然而然地出现,从不强迫。我的目标是以不会画画的孩子的自发性进行创作,这种具有挑战性的方法往往会产生意想不到的结果。归根结底,我的作品是我自己和我与世界的交流的直接表达。
我喜欢在我的作品中尝试各种媒介和主题,通常一开始并没有特定的主题。这个过程植根于现实,从建筑、自然,甚至我以前作品的片段中汲取灵感。有时,我会刮掉或覆盖现有的作品上的新油漆,而不是重新开始,构建新的构图和颜色,直到出现所需的画作。这种方法常常会引导新的方向,反映我的思维过程,揭示作品的演变,最终形成最终的作品。
创作抽象艺术给我带来了一种精神自由和升华的感觉。在沉醉于抽象之美的同时,我也忍受着艺术家突破个人界限的挣扎,不断探索和解读艺术的奥秘,力求进步。大自然常常让我着迷,激发我的创造力。
真正的艺术家应该体现实验和探索的精神。在创作过程中,我有意无意地挑战我以前的作品,拒绝迎合观众和收藏家的审美要求。我不断寻求新奇独特的表达方式,探索事物的本质和艺术的起源。我认为当代艺术应该将物体转化为表达精神世界的形式和符号。
我认为观众没有必要过度解读我的作品,我也不愿意过多地解释。你看到的就是你想看到的。每个人的经历、兴趣、文化背景和审美都不同,导致对我的作品的理解也不同。观众从我的艺术中感受到兴奋就足够了,这正是我所追求的。
