油彩、壓克力顏料、畫布
這幅畫是從我以前的黑墨素描作品裡的其中一件創作而出。所有素描作品背後的概念都出於自然。當我居住在被自然環繞的海灘小屋、門口面對太平洋時，它們就這樣形成了。我讓我的創作思想順從自然精神，感覺完全與環境和平相處。一種根深蒂固地與自然和諧相處，在內心開始成長，點燃我作畫的熱情。我永遠都不會背棄這種感覺、這種認知。
這幅畫是我首件從素描變成大型油畫的作品，並以朱紅色做為主要構圖線條。對我而言，紅色是精神的顏色，可表現自然場景的溫暖。整幅畫布在畫滿所有其他顏色前充滿了溫暖夕陽色調。畫這樣的場景非常接近內心，因為我熱愛大海，並總想靠近它。由於住在臺北過久，南方、陽光吸引著我。我必須再次與自然融為一體。
這幅作品是我在臺東的都蘭找到住處後所完成的，看來的確是個明智的決定。大自然中的和平、和諧及積極的能量，從此助長我的創作之道。我調色盤上的顏色再次活了過來，畫筆在畫布上恣意跳動，彷彿慶祝自然一般。它是我靈魂的治療，繪畫就像是我生命的自然熱情。這幅作品向生命與自然的和諧相處致敬。

Oil and acrylic on canvas
This painting is created from one of my original black ink spirit drawings. The concept behind all the spirit drawings is derived from nature. They first came into being while living in a beach hut engulfed by nature and with the Pacific ocean at my door. Letting my creative mind be dictated to by the very spirits of nature. Feeling completely at peace with my surroundings. A deep rooted harmony with nature began to grow inside me which lit the fire of my passion for painting. I will never turn my back on this feeling, this understanding.
This work is the first spirit drawing to become a large scale oil painting. I chose vermilion red as its compositional lines. Red to me, is the colour of the spirit and expresses the warmth I feel when painting scenes from nature. The entire canvas was painted a warm sunset tone before all other colours were achieved. Painting a scene like this is very close to my heart. I have a love for the ocean and always want to be near her. Taipei city had been home for long enough, I soon felt myself being drawn to the south, to the sun. I needed to be at one with nature again.
This work was painted once I had found my place in Dulan in Taitung. A wise decision indeed. The peace, harmony and positive energy among the nature here has been fueling my creative path ever since. The colours of my palette have sprung back to life and my brush dances upon the canvas as if in celebration of Mother Nature herself. It is if you will, therapy for my soul. Painting is my life’s natural passion. This work is homage to the harmony of life with nature.
