“On plum trees, mountains and water”
梅 山 水 .
Inspired by the surrounding nature of mountains and the sea, painting is to concentrate on the abstract. A landscape is a balance between the elements, their presence, manifestation, their interwoven interactions. Painting water, the ‘song of water‘, tells about trees and mountains, a brush stroke is an entering into communication.
In 2024 and 2025 the study of Chinese painting brought forward several series of long horizontal oil paintings on canvas board.
