Artist Statement
I am committed to exploring the profound connection between philosophy and art through painting. In the process of creation, I interweave speculation and emotion, using the language of painting to express my thoughts on existence, time, space, and human consciousness. Art is not only a visual presentation, but also a reflection on the inner world and a questioning of external reality. I hope to inspire viewers to engage in deeper thinking about their relationship with the world through my works, and pursue the boundless integration of art and philosophy in perception, understanding, and expression.
