“My art expression mainly circles around the philosophy of grasping and describing the wonders of the universe.
I would like to think its transcendent state of consciousness is magnificent. Philosophy conveys the intangible aspect of beauties with ideas and words. Abstract art expresses the perfection that surpasses popular beauty in form. I depict nature with the thought of Taoism and achieve my style by using different mixed media, trying my best to discover the multidimensional through my art piece. I name my art New Imagism.” – Wei Yan
