Divine Aroma 天香
2023 | Watercolor 水彩 ｜94 × 79 cm
Painting flowers for years, I was said to be madly in love with flowers and praised for my capturing of flowers’ souls. It was influenced by my father’s pursuit for the beautiful things in life. This work employs peony, the King of the Flowers, as the subject. Divine Aroma represents the elegance and tenderness of peony. The floral texture and the romantic vibe are highlighted using the flowing technique, in which a tint of light flows from the dark part.
畫花多年，有人說我愛花成痴，讚嘆畫出了花之魂魄。其實是受父親影響，追求生命中美好的事物。這次以花中之王牡丹為主題，〈天香〉表現牡丹的高雅與柔美，用漫流的技巧襯托花的質感與浪漫的氣氛，並在暗部透出一些光芒。
Oceanic Charm 海韻
2023 | Watercolor 水彩 ｜37×56 cm ＊ 2pieces
The flowing technique is a painting technique passed down by my father. It is a special effect born from the mutual flowing and permeation of colors, which presents surprises every so often. It is perfect for representing the view by seashore. Although we cannot tell the result as we paint, the artistic conception and style in the image is what we seek.
漫流技法是父親傳授下來的一種繪畫技巧。讓色彩互相漫流滲透而形成的一種特殊效果，常常會有偶得的驚喜。以此來表現海邊景色再適合不過，雖然每次下筆都無法預知結果，但畫面的意境與格調卻是我們盡力所追求的。
A Peaceful Afternoon 靜靜的午後
2023 | Watercolor 水彩 ｜76 x 90 cm
Still life was the onset for my watercolor practice. I was trained in terms of shape, light contrast, lighting, color, texture, composition, and spatial relationship, all with still life. The white clay pot is integrated with the red, purple, and yellow fruits, as well as the cloth and the yellow background. Amidst the tender light of afternoon, they form a picture of warmth, rendering a luxuriant visual satisfaction.
靜物畫是我最早接觸水彩的方式。從造型、明暗、光線、色彩、質感、構圖及空間關係，在靜物畫裡都能得到訓練。白色陶罐及紅色、紫色、黃色水果與襯布及黃色背景融合在一起，在午後柔和的光線下，形成了一幅溫暖的畫面，視覺上產生豐富的滿足。
Cornucopian Bliss 豐碩的喜悅
2023 | Watercolor 水彩 ｜88 × 70 cm
Corn has always been my favorite subject-matter for presentation. Warmth and bliss flow from the golden hue. With a vertical composition and the Hakka floral cloth as the base, together with a black porcelain plate, there comes a color contrast of red, white, and black. Aside from the ethnic flavor, the S-shaped rhythm sets it apart from the visual effect in the ordinary composition of still life.
玉米一直是我喜愛表現的題材，金黃的顏色透露出溫暖與喜悅。這次以竪構圖及客家花布作為襯底，搭配黑色瓷盤，讓畫面有紅、白、黑的色彩對比關係，除了有民族風味外，因S型的韻律感又有別於一般靜物構圖的視覺效果。
