"Digital Abstract Expressionism" Artwork

As a Wuhan-based artist, I have work on traditional Chinese painting for over two decades. Several years before, I was influenced by American Abstract Expressionism and broke away from conventional pattern. Inspired by the gestural paintings of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, I am exploring the possibility of mixing Abstract Expressionism with traditional Chinese painting.

I am Azure.
I am a contemporary abstract artist whose creative life unfolds between the tactile fibers of traditional Xuan paper and the luminous glow of the digital screen. To the world, these two mediums may represent the past and the future; to me, they are two inseparable dimensions of my soul—different ways of touching time and chasing light.
My artistic journey began with a deep, meditative immersion into traditional Eastern ink painting. For years, I have been captivated by the breathing texture of rice paper, the deliberate watermarks left behind as wet ink dries, and the calligraphic lines that flow intuitively from my brush, echoing the fragile geometry of flora and micro-ecosystems. For me, holding the brush is a spiritual practice. It taught me how to find freedom within restraint, and how to reveal vital resonance within imperfection.
Yet, as the digital era emerged, I found myself drawn to the boundless color thresholds and avant-garde expressive power of digital media. I embarked on a rigorous journey of self-reinvention: translating the ancient soul of ink into the digital realm.
In my digital oeuvre, you will witness a striking collision of dualities. At times, my work is heavy and visceral; I use digital brushes to meticulously reconstruct the gritty materiality of weathered, peeling concrete and urban ruins, exploring the entropy of time through raw strokes and stark black-and-crimson fields. At other times, my practice becomes lyrical and weightless. Using precise edge control, I guide delicate watercolor washes to diffuse across luminous, negative spaces, punctuated by futuristic flashes of neon accents. This is the spiritual sanctuary I build—a place of pure healing after the chaos.
