Principle

One-of-a-kind

It is my principle who creates the original paintings that I have created with all my heart using CG graphics, and then prints them out in high resolution onto canvas, making them exist in this world as one-of-a-kind original paintings. In keeping with the spirit of the Xieyi painting as a Talisman, the soul that resides in the painting lives on in the canvas.

Xieyi Painting – The Art of Expressing Spirit over Form

“Xieyi” painting (写意画), often translated as “freehand brushwork” or “literati painting,” is a traditional Chinese art form that values spirit, mood, and essence more than precise, realistic detail.
Rather than copying the appearance of nature, Xieyi seeks to capture its inner life and feeling—the energy of a flower blooming, the spirit of a mountain, or the breath of the wind.
Xieyi painting is not just about what you see, but what you feel. It’s an art of suggestion, spontaneity, and simplicity, where a few expressive brushstrokes can speak more deeply than a thousand fine lines.
“Unlike realistic painting, Xieyi is not about imitation—it is about revelation. It reveals the soul of the subject, and the heart of the painter.”

Special value as a Talismanic Diagram

Xieyi Painting as a Talismanic Diagram – A Visual Expression of Energy and Spirit ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Xieyi painting, when created as a “talismanic diagram” (符図 / fú tú), goes beyond artistic beauty.
It becomes a sacred symbol—a visual vessel that holds and transmits energy (qi), intention, and spiritual resonance.
Unlike decorative art, such works are not merely for viewing, but are meant to align space, mind, and spirit. Each brushstroke is imbued with meaning, vibration, and consciousness, reflecting Daoist cosmology, natural law, and inner cultivation.
These paintings function like visual mantras or energetic maps, guiding the viewer toward harmony, vitality, and insigh.
They are not just paintings—they are living symbols.
  

Reviving Sacred Diagrams — Xieyi as Living Conceptual Art

This body of work brings the ancient power of talismanic diagrams (fú tú) into the present, reborn as a unique fusion of Xieyi freehand brushwork and contemporary conceptual art. Inspired by Daoist cosmology, the flow of qi, and symbolic balance, each painting is not just for viewing—it is designed to act.
These are not passive images. They are energetic structures, created to harmonize space, calm the mind, and awaken deeper resonance in the viewer. Using expressive strokes and potent emptiness, the artist renders not form, but presence—visualizing the unseen rhythms of yin and yang, the silent orbit of the Five Phases, and the breath of the Dao itself.
Each piece becomes a code of presence, like a living diagram. What once adorned temples and ritual halls now re-emerges as art—timeless, intentional, and spiritually charged. This is Xieyi reborn—art that acts.
