以艺术为工具

  我从不将艺术视为表现美的简单方式。在我眼里，我们周围的世界已然是无限美与智慧的完美体现。

I never looked at art as a simple way of expressing beauty. In my understanding the world around us is already perfect expression of infinite beauty and wisdom.

  艺术让我有可能进入自己的潜意识，通过想象、通过颜色和形状的无限组合，去发现我性格中隐藏的部份。我感觉应该有一种形状的语言、线条的语言、颜色的语言，以某种方式来描述那些人类语言无法言说的“事物”。

I saw art as a possibility to dive into my subconscious mind, to discover hidden parts of my personality through my imagination, through endless combinations of colours and shapes. I felt there should be a language of shapes, language of lines, language of colours that somehow can describe "things" that can't be described by our human language.

  这或许是异想天开，但是图像打开了一扇门，一扇看不见的门，它通往的世界比肉眼能看到的更真实。这里说的“真实”指的是，比我的躯体所在的这个世界更有意义、更原始。在这个世界里，我以一种大脑无法理解的方式动笔作画，这轨迹漫无目的，但我的身体被某种力量控制着继续前进。我的身体在活动却不用思考，这令人陶醉，就想我们的身体每天照常运行，让我们能够在物质世界存在，却不涉及精神世界的思考，该做什么就做什么……这背后的力量比我们的大脑要更具智慧。

Maybe it's a crazy idea but... Images open the door, invisible door, - to the world that is in a way more real for me than the world that I see with my eyes. By saying "real" I mean more significant, prior to the one my body lives in. So here we are. My hands move in a way that my mind can't understand. There is no specific goal...but my body ruled by some force keeps going on. Fascinating. Without thinking my body does its job. It's the same as when our bodies function on a daily basis supporting our physical existence without our "mental" consideration, it simply does what it should...and there is a force behind it much wiser than our mind.

这些图像看起来好像没什么规律。但确实是这样吗？这些图像来源于我们的潜意识。潜意识保留着我们的思绪、感受和体验，像一座巨大的储藏间，像一片深邃的暗色海洋。浮出水面的是什么？是我们存在的这个特殊时刻的重要事物。这就像我们与自己的潜意识之间展开的一场奇异对话，我们不开口，而是用颜色和形状来交流。

The images might seem random. But are they? The source of these images lies in our subconscious. And our subconscious keeps everything we thought, we felt, we experienced. Huge storage room, like an ocean, deep and dark. What will come to the surface? That which is important at this particular moment of our existence. It's like a dialogue between our subconscious mind and us. Strange dialogue in which instead of words we use colours and shapes.
