Lan believes that the essence of art lies in independence and freedom. Through artistic creation, individuals achieve spiritual tranquility and emotional resonance while engaging with the external environment. True art transcends surface appearances and rational cognition, establishing a profound connection with the viewer’s soul. It evokes a vital energy and awakens a deeper consciousness. Lan’s works express inner truths, explore the boundaries between abstraction and figuration, and awaken perceptions that resonate with the world, fostering a shared emotional and spiritual experience.
