Tao Wen-Yueh
To me, creation of art work is a self examination and self- reflection of one’s inner world. The elements of inspiration contain one’s emotion accumulated through the passage of time, tender thoughts of fleeting life, intense concern for natural environment and longing for the future world. Many people are used to recording their living by keeping a diary; however, I am used to expressing them by sketching and painting. Instead of explaining by characters, I clarify concepts by points, lines, planes and totems.
These simple refined images, not limit to any combination of abstract or concrete formalities, help me reach an even larger imaginative space.
