青春是心灵的状态,艺术是心灵的诠释。
青春不只存在于时间光谱中、不只显现于躯体外表上,青春是一种生命态度、是艺术创作源源不绝的动能。因为青春我们可以无惧、叛逆、探索,可以用顽心、蕴空创造生命。在青春的国度中没有恒常不变的决定,这股初生之犊不畏虎的能量,不带有任何目的性,所有的事情都有可能、也都具有同等的吸引力。青春如同一股源源不绝的能量,当它昇华成心灵的状态时,便恒常无限。

The youthful spirit does not only exist in a particular time spectrum. It is not shown in the appearance of one’s body. The youthful spirit is an attitude towards life. It is an endless supply of kinetic energy towards our perception and appreciation towards art. The youthful spirit gives us energy to be brave, to rebel, to explore and to create new possibilities in life. In the kingdom of youthful spirits, there is no consistency. It shares the oblivion of a young child who hasn’t experienced a reason for fear. This energy has no purpose, which allows everything to be perceived as a possibility. The youthful spirit acts as an endless supply of energy, and when it is accepted as a state of mind, the possibilities are endless. The youthful spirit means this abundance and exuberance of life’s energies. Its outward signs show a particular brilliancy, ideas of artworks are freely played with agility, like singing preferred to speech, running instead of walking. It’s an inner vitality that demands outlet.
