Yuan Wen

My work is inspired by the observations of light, shadow and structure in nature. The practice of Chinese brush painting makes me obsessed with the combination of strokes, lines, and how they combine in an unexpected way. In my concept, all marks can be mountains, lakes and vegetation. I simplified and rearranged all elements to indicate my imitation of nature.
