Behind the clouds Painting

This series was inspired by Chinese Shan-shui paintings, which often convey an abstract concept of an ideal world or Utopia.   It is a common misconception that Shan-shui paintings are merely pictures of landscapes, instead they are a meditation on the artist’s position in relation to the real world and his inner universe. I wanted to create an abstract representation of Utopia, reinterpreting the spirit and intention behind these ancient art forms using new mediums. The painting is a collage of multiple materials onto the abstract hand-drawn patterns. Chinese ink is used for the background to give a feeling of misty and clouds. It is my hope that the oriental aesthetics and peaceful feeling of these series of pictures will give the viewer a brief escape from the real-world and free them to meditate and contemplate their position in their own inner universe.
