Artist Statement 

這幅作品是一幅以藍色為主色調的抽象畫表達一種對自然景觀的抽象詮釋，將山巒或雲朵的形態以自由奔放的筆觸呈現，傳達出自然界的動態與生命力。藍色的深淺變化與白色點綴的運用，不僅營造出層次感與空間感，也暗示了自然元素的變幻莫測與深邃之美。整體氛圍寧靜而富有哲理，引導觀者進入一種內省與沉思的狀態，感受自然與心靈的交融。

這幅畫的筆觸風格更接近東方水墨畫的技法，具有自由流動的線條和深淺變化的墨色，同時融入了現代抽象藝術的表現手法，使其兼具傳統韻味與當代感。

This artwork is an abstract painting dominated in shades of blue, offering an abstract interpretation of natural landscapes. The forms of mountains or clouds are depicted with free and unrestrained brushstrokes, conveying the dynamism and vitality of nature. The gradations of blue and the use of white accents not only create a sense of depth and spatiality but also suggest the unpredictable and profound beauty of natural elements. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and philosophical, guiding viewers into a state of introspection and contemplation, where the fusion of nature and the soul can be felt.

The brushstroke style of this painting leans closer to the techniques of Eastern ink painting, characterized by fluid, free-flowing lines and variations in ink tones. At the same time, it incorporates the expressive methods of modern abstract art, allowing it to embody both traditional charm and contemporary sensibility.
