Special Limited Edition print collection for KNOX IMMERSE [Art in Unexpected Places]
MERAKI [MAY-RAH-KEE]
A Greek word used to describe To do something with soul, creativity or love, leaving a piece of yourself into what you are doing.
MERAKI [Immerse in Love] is one of the collection #ORIENTAL LUCID DREAM ·东方之梦, A serie of inspirational peony brush paintings done with traditional water ink. The perfect bloom of peonies symbolises wealthy, auspicious, honour and graceful in Chinese art for centuries. Frida Kahlo ever said, “I paint flowers, so they will not die”. It is such a pleasant time for me to capture the peak of their beauty with my hands.
A talk with ONLY you :
There is a unique way for everyone to connect with mother nature and this is my way. I see every painting process as a precious meditation and time journey to search philosophy for life. It is motivational to have a conversation with you who are looking at this artwork now. Never forget how special you are. People are too busy to remember it is Ok to slow down and enjoy the view.
This world inspires me:
Creating lucid dream feelings, I was influenced by ancient techniques and modern concepts across countries. It is my honour to be born in a country with a thick and deep cultural background. It gives me the chance to look back to search for inspiration. I was always fascinated by the philosophical concept of BALANCE. Finding the balance between the softness of special rice paper and the hardness of brush is the true meaning of creation. And I believe that it is the key to a home full of happiness. Studying at Swinburne University also inspires me to open my mind, to absorb new ideas and to respect diverse cultures.
It is my honour to invite you to explore a unique spiritual inner world with me through the view of this blooming dream.
Furthermore, it is my pleasure to create unique artwork ONLY for YOU.
Wish you could immerse in love every day.
Lots of love,
Jade Li
