Energy of Spring

I like spring because this is the time of the year when every human can reconnect both with Nature and his own true nature. Trees are a source of energy for each of us. I wanted to represent and transmit this energy.

Chinese ink painting is based on the energy of gesture. Usually I paint an entire tree with one single brush stroke.

For the background, I use vivid colors inspired by traditional ceramics, embroidery of Chinese minorities and the clothes of Chinese Emperors.
