About The Entry

The visual works series "Flowers and Mountains" draws inspiration from the visual imagination of the Song Dynasty aesthetic of China. Breaking free from the constraints of traditional mimicry, it translates the scholarly spirit of Song Dynasty paintings into an international visual language. It breathes new resonance into millennia-old aesthetics within contemporary design, serving as a vivid model for cross-cultural aesthetic exchange.
It shapes a visual system through a minimalist design, laying a pure foundation with a black-and-white color palette. It creates a striking contrast in form through sharp geometric mountain silhouettes and soft pink flower clusters, while traditional figure symbols interweave and collide with modern graphics. This not only forges powerful visual tension but also conveys the Eastern philosophy of "harmony in diversity" through the balance of colors and lines. By employing a minimalist style, montage techniques, and ample negative space, it deeply deconstructs the poetic artistic conception of "wandering and sojourning" in Song Dynasty paintings, seamlessly blending classical charm with a modern sense of vitality.
This series centers on the creative translation of traditional culture, conveying the profound connotation of the integration of nature and humanity from a cross-cultural perspective. This cultural expression reconstructed through a minimalist language serves as a highly compelling model for the contemporary transformation of traditional culture, fostering recognition under an international aesthetic and prompting reflections on cultural inheritance.
