Zen Painting

My art shall not only give the viewers aesthetic pleasure, but also strike a personal chord with them through history, culture, and the hidden mysteries of ancient colors and scents Fay transitioned from portraiture and landscape art to abstract art a few years ago. The desire to explore unbounded frontiers, the urge to break away from predetermined shapes and details, bubbled to the tip of her brush. She enjoys the freedom, the boldness, and the ability to write mysterious frictions using her colorful and powerful strokes, leaving room for one’s own interpretation of history and life experiences. There was no turning back. Abstract art gives a freedom that is not easy: it depends upon discipline and intuition. Detours are quite common, but they introduce the surprising turns that bring the journey to the right destination, the one that was anxiously calling to be born. Impulse, internal cues, and natural flow are important in Fay’s art. Fay’s formative years in China and traveling around the world gave her a sense of history and millenary traditions that permeate her work. At times, calligraphy, music, antiques, renaissance, ancient temple or Maya ruins from her life experience hide in her paintings. They rest in deep layers, in quiet corners, and in unexpected elements of the composition.
