岩石的秘密
2024，紙、炭筆、炭精筆、壓克力
《岩石的秘密》，這系列是我在西班牙蒙塞拉特山區健行時創作的素描。
蒙塞拉特山以其獨特的礫岩地貌聞名，奇特的岩峰經過長年風化與侵蝕，形成如雕塑般的自然景觀。當我凝視這些岩石時，腦海中浮現出天使的身影，撒拉弗（Seraphim）與基路伯（Cherubim）似乎隱匿在岩石縫隙與裂縫之間，露出一雙雙小眼睛。山體的形狀彷彿許多聖人矗立在天空，靜默地凝視著大地。
透過素描，我捕捉岩石的紋理與光影，將其物質性與靈性意象交織在一起，使這些景觀成為默觀與信仰對話的媒介。這項計畫延續我對自然世界與神聖感知交匯點的探索，反思景觀如何成為精神沉思的載體。
無論是繪畫還是素描，我的創作在模糊物質與非物質之間的界線，透過光影、形態與象徵的交互作用，喚起超越性的感知。

The Mystery Within the Rock
2024, paper, mix media
"The Mystery Within the Rock" is a series of sketches created during a hiking trip in the Montserrat mountain range in Spain.
Montserrat is renowned for its unique conglomerate rock formations, with bizarre peaks shaped by years of weathering and erosion, resembling sculptural landscapes. As I gazed at these rocks, angelic figures emerged in my mind. Seraphim and Cherubim seemed to hide in the crevices and cracks of the rocks, their small eyes peeking through. The mountain's shapes appeared like numerous saints standing in the sky, silently gazing down upon the earth.
Through sketching, I capture the textures and light of rocks, intertwining their materiality with spiritual imagery, transforming these landscapes into a medium for contemplative dialogue and faith. This project continues my exploration of the intersection between the natural world and divine perception, reflecting on how landscapes become vessels for spiritual reflection.
Whether through painting or sketching, my work seeks to blur the boundary between the material and immaterial, evoking transcendence through the interplay of light, form, and symbolism.
