畫面裡沒有任何寓意，只是找到一個興趣點（或者說是感受性的興趣）反覆的琢磨、提煉，最後形成具有某種「形式性」的方式，這種「形式性」就是純度最高的，那麼同時你對物象的直覺、敏感度也隨之會呈現出來。某種程度上講「形式性」在繪畫中還是很重要的，它屬於非常態下的一種重要性。
我可以把畫面處理的很複雜，卻沒辦法把我的喜好、感受用很豐富的語言文字形容給別人聽。總體上我給別人的感覺就是有些冷漠，其實我還是有熱情的，只不過那些「熱情」只會出現在我的畫裡，如果你是一個富有激情的人，那麼所有的文字都會顯得蒼白或者沒有意義。
我拒絕一切很「虛」的東⻄（指的是空間上虛），我盡量把遠處的物體畫的相對實一些，只是通過線條的變化把空間拉開一些，使它們看上去有點「設計性」，比起抽象表現性的東⻄，我更加喜歡有形狀、具體的的東⻄，具象性更能刺激我去琢磨它。豐富的形體、交錯變化的線條，一根樹枝粗細變化以及上面的疤痕都能勾起我描繪的慾望。中國古人有極高的智慧，他們能夠通過線的起伏、彎曲交錯把水的流動呈現在畫面上，依然給人很真實的感覺，這種表現是很高級的。
The image contains no intrinsic meaning--just find a point of interest (or something that inspires a feeling) to ponder. And, in the end, a certain "form" develops. This form is of the highest purity, and your intuition and sensitivity to the image are drawn to the surface. To some extent, form is very important in painting; it is a kind of importance within an abnormal state.
I can make a picture very complex, but I can’t express my likes and feelings richly enough through language. Generally speaking, I may appear indifferent to others, but I’m actually full of passion--but this passion only appears in my paintings. If you're a passionate person, all words will just seem dry and meaningless.
I reject everything that's "empty" (“empty” in the spatial sense) ...I try to draw distant objects relatively realistically, but by varying the lines, I open up the space more make them look a bit more "designed". I prefer shape and concreteness to abstract expressiveness, and concreteness stimulates me to think about it more. Rich forms, dynamically intertwining lines, the irregular thickness of a tree branch and the scars on its surface--all of these arouse my urge to create. The people of ancient China were very wise.
With a few twisting, undulating lines, they could conjure flowing water onto the page. Even now, their art remains convincing, and their techniques are very advanced.
