Masterpiece of the Time Traveller’s Series

The epidemic had a profound effect on the artist. He stated, “We must know the importance of respecting nature and all beings in the world, only that we can be safe and sound.” The mountains symbolize the past, present, and future, highlighting that nature is the true master and not us humans.

To represent the concept of time and space, the artist drew “Kunpeng” a mythological animal, which symbolizes lofty aspirations. Inspired by Zhuang Zi’s ” Free and Easy Wandering,” the artist believes in the need for transcendence regardless of the circumstances. The artist also drew a cup, similar to a “Starbucks cup,” to symbolize transcending the self and living in the present moment.

The woman in the painting, with a beautiful dress and comfortable slippers, encourages us to be true to ourselves and live authentically. In the future, the artist depicts humans as Pegasus, emphasizing that by nurturing our souls, we can unleash our imagination and create unique works.

Finally, the kingfisher in the last painting travels from the future to the past, prompting the audience to reflect on which moment they would like to revisit and what they would cherish or change.

画家在这一次的疫情，非常感触。他说“我们要懂得敬畏大自然，敬畏世间万物，才能够平平安安” 他用山来代表着过去，现在和未来，因为我们不是宇宙的中心，只有大自然才是真真的主人。

画家用鲲鹏代表着过去的时空，因为在古时候，鲲鹏的象征是“志趣高远。画家因为庄子的《逍遥游》形容的“鲲鹏”所感动，他也认为人类无论在什么时空都需要具备超越自我精神的力量。画家把超越自我的精神用一杯像“星巴克的杯子”穿越现在的时空，希望我们在此时此刻，懂得活在当下，该放松就去放松。

画中的女人穿着一件漂亮的衣裳搭配一双舒服的拖鞋，要我们学习做真实的自己，活出自我。在未来的时空，画家用天马来形容未来的人类，只有灵魂升维才能具备天马行空的想象力，也才能创作独一无二的作品。

最后画中的翠鸟是这系列的主角，它从未来穿梭回过去，画家的问题是“如果您可以回到过去，你最想要回到去什么场景？”有什么值得您最想要留恋或改变的呢？
