About My Art

Artistic Identity: An authentic artist of life, rich in philosophical thinking. Artistic Mission: To inqiure into the origin of life and the world through the language of art, just as philosophy and science do. Artistic Characteristic: Art of  Authenticity. Artistic Concept: Life itself is art. Artistic Tone: “Origin–Future.” Origin means questioning where the universe and all beings come from; Future means exploring how the world evolves and where it is going. Art Form: Original painting.

Artworks: “The Ecosystem of the Transcendental World and Its Multiple Universes,” abbreviated as “The Ecosystem of the Transcendental World” or “The Ecosystem of Dao.”

Publication: Life Itself is Art

I advocate the view that “Life itself is art.” I believe that both life and the world are inherently endowed with an artistic beauty. The creation of life and the world, as well as their unfolding and evolution, are inherently imbued with aesthetic value.

Where does such exquisite life and the world come from, and where is it going? What is the matrix of the world, and what is  its symbiotic relationship  with all things in the universe?

In my artistic exploration, I combine insights from philosophy, quantum physics, parallel universes, and dark energy with artistic expression. By merging Eastern ink painting and calligraphy with Western artistic forms, I break traditional boundaries and  achieve a synthesis of  Eastern and Western cultures.  On the basis of metaphysics, my works aim to reveal the infinite creative potential of the idea that “Life itself is art.”

The project “The Ecosystem of the Transcendental World” consists of over 1,000 small paintings (54 × 38 cm). Each possesses a unique character, like an individual musical note, and they are assembled into 130 large-scale works. The collective impact is monumental, like a Beethoven symphony. The purpose is singular: to explore, through the language of art, the origin of life and the world, and to seek their true nature—much like the quest undertaken by philosophy and science.

Although we cannot directly express the unknown essence of being, we can reveal the material and spiritual manifestations it generates. My art attempts to render visible what our senses cannot perceive—dark matter, dark energy, and parallel universes —through spiritual intuition, thereby visualizing the landscapes of multiple cosmoses.

My artistic practice is a process of communion with Dao, a state of mystical union with it. It is a return to the Dao itself and a return to the primordial state. Starting from a place of authenticity, it seeks to reveal the infinite Being contained within Non-Being; and conversely, it endeavors to peer into Non-Being through the forms of Being. In doing so, it reveals a visual reality that transcends sensory perception.
