About the artwork

题目：蔼然 意思：平淡，顺其自然 Hong Zhu An's works rarely tells a specific narrative. Rather, the artist invites viewers to form their own thoughts and emotional, subsequently creating a personal journey between the artwork and the viewer. In this piece, Hong attempts to capture the essence of zen. With bold splashes of black ink, the contrast between vast, chaotic and tiny, intricate strokes of calligraphy, Hong perfectly captures the varying levels of 'zen' or meditation that is essential in individuals' lives.
