花是一个非常诗意的题材,古往今来,许多画家都乐此不疲,希望借花来抒情达意,释放自己独到的性情。海燕也不例外。与以往不同的是,海燕生活在一个真实的现代社会里,除了对传统文化的崇拜以外,现实周遭也给了她许多刺激和心灵感应。绽放的牡丹、饱满的石榴,匆匆飞过的蜻蜓和蝴蝶,以及充满诱惑的色彩,构成了她持续的经验与记忆。
Flower is a poetic subject matter that is cherished by numerous artists from ancient to modern times. Artists use flowers to express their feelings and original temperament, so it is with Haiyan. Different from ancient artists, Haiyan, who admires traditional culture, lives in a vivid modern world which provides a lot of inspiration and telepathy. Blooming peony, pomegranate in fullness, dragonflies and butterflies flying by as well as tempting colors all constitute her continuous experience and memory.
