This painting is inspired by a taoist parable 子非魚 安知魚之樂 "You're not the fish, how can you possibly know about the happiness of the fish"

Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling on a bridge over the River Hao, when the former observed, "See how the minnows dart between the rocks! Such is the happiness of fishes."
"You are not the fish," said Huizi, "how can you possibly know about the happiness of the fish?"
"And you not being I,"said Zhuangzi, "how can you know that I don't know about the happiness of the fish?"
"If I, not being you, cannot know what you know," replied Huizi,"does it not follow from that very fact that you, not being a fish, cannot know what makes fish happy?"
"Let us go back," said Zhuangzi, "to your original question. You asked me how I knew about the happiness of the fish. The very fact you asked shows that you knew I knew"as I did know, from my own feelings on this bridge."

The two sides of me... My sumi paintings are essentially monochromatic. I find boundless freedom in expressing myself through different shades of black, white and grey. I love to use minimal strokes capturing the essence while leaving enough white space for the viewer's imagination. That stems from the Taoist thinking - sometimes not doing anything is action in itself. Like My Facebook Page (Chinese art) My website: http://www.oystudio.com/ (Chinese Art) With acrylic, watercolor and oil, I feel like a 4 year old child rolling on the floor coating myself with all the different colors I love. Unlike my Chinese ink paintings, I fill the canvas with so much color that it might be suffocating for you but I am having so much fun I just want...
