Nature's Etchings (2024) Photography by Sanzhi Chieh

Hi! Welcome to my art world.  I began painting at the age of 8 and continued my studies in Western art through private high school. As an artist, I believe in expressing vision and goodness through painting and artwork. My goal is to create healing art that brings positive energy to the world.

Before creating art, I meditate to gain calm and positive energy, which I then channel into my paintings. My main theme is nature, and I strive to convey the nurturing love of nature and the earth through my compositions, whether in images or abstract shapes and lines. I carefully select color palettes with psychological healing properties, aiming to make viewers feel happy and relaxed. During the painting and drying process, I often light agarwood or copal incense, allowing the paint and canvas to absorb their high-quality energy. This practice adds a positive element to home feng shui arrangements. My paintings combine artistic creativity with healing functionality, creating a deep interaction with the audience.

My style is contemporary, predominantly abstract, with themes centered around nature. I primarily use oil and acrylic paints. I carefully select color palettes with healing properties based on color psychology and use brushes to create relaxed yet powerful strokes that convey the flow of the wind and the warmth of the sun. My techniques involve multi-layered colors and a sense of space to enhance the overall composition.  Thank you for your support!!  Sanzhi Chieh.
