My Heart is Flying
When we gaze at the distant stars, we are actually looking up at our eternal home.
Faced with the vast cosmos, human beings always ponder upon the ultimate questions: Where are we from? Where are we going?
This painting series is inspired by the dream of flying of mankind, and envisions the ultimate return of goodness and beauty to the liberated soul.
Dare to believe that in the deep and vast universe, there certainly live some free people, where the sky is eternally open, and the world is completely free.
This is a delightful creative process, rational at times and emotional at others. I strived to be more fluid and precise in expressing my thoughts in pursuit of perfection.
Techniques can speak accurately for the artist, allowing figural transformation between reality and fantasy. In the rearrangement of objects, the unseen is revealed, forming novel, poetic and metaphysical imageries and meanings.
This is also a purely spiritual experience, logical and illogical at the same time. One can say that it is a journey of the heart through time without a starting point and an end, allowing the body and the mind to roam about vast lands and the unfathomed sky. What I captured are the images of transcendental existence and of the purified soul.
Riding with the wind; my heart is flying.
