Many people talk about beauty – beauty of serenity, natural beauty, classical beauty, chic beauty, shattered beauty, chaotic beauty, wabi-sabi beauty…Recently I have been contemplating the beauty of the perpetual passing of eternity- beneath my eyes, in my memory, in my heart, in the future, and overwhelmed by beauty beyond words.
In the past 3 years, I have been experimenting other painting media and techniques and have fallen in love with the fast-drying and vibrantly colorful alcohol-based color ink. Its unhindered characteristics, whether it is the rhythm of lines or inter-penetration of colors dovetail with my free flow of thoughts and brushes fulfilling my pursuit of expressing my spirits and emotions to the fullest. The texture of the painting is so smooth, so delicate and transparent that mimics a thin white porcelain, bringing discordance into harmony.
Indulging in the joy of the creative process every time I paint, I would call this the Beauty of Overflowing.
