岩彩 Colors, Stoneborne

2019-2020



In my artwork, I draw inspiration from the ancient Chinese tradition of mineral pigment painting, where colors are extracted from natural stones and earth. The pigments, born from the heart of rocks, carry the raw essence of nature—the deep hues of minerals, the subtle tones of earth, and the timeless vibrancy of the land. Each color is a reflection of the natural world, imbued with the energy of its origin.

Painting on stone slabs, I seek to connect with this profound materiality. The surface itself becomes a continuation of the rocks from which the pigments are derived, creating a dialogue between the medium and the message. As the pigments settle into the textured stone, my work becomes a meditation on time, nature, and the transformation of raw materials into art.
