NIRVÀNA 無為。自在高潮
2023 PARIS SOLO EXHIBITIONNovotel Paris 20 Belleville1 / JUIN - 30 / SEPT
Nirvana is not an endpoint, but a continual act of self-rebirth.
NIRVANA presents the artist’s journey through inner darkness—an ongoing confrontation with the self that gives rise to light once more. Life advances through its fissures; emotions solidify within the works. Fracture and restoration coexist, forming the necessary passage toward renewal.
In the creative process, wounds are not erased; they are transformed. Each gesture and every layer of texture acknowledges vulnerability while simultaneously summoning strength. The seemingly delicate threads and materials carry the weight of lived experience; subtle glimmers and emerging forms signal the first sprouts of healing. Art renders the inner self visible, granting presence to the unspeakable :
fear is depicted, pain is untangled, and silence is given language.
Whether manifested through figuration or abstraction, each work testifies to the artist’s personal odyssey, while reflecting the viewer’s own—reminding us that every individual seeks the possibility of rebirth along a path not always spoken aloud.
NIRVANA is a return to the self :
from disorder to release, from fragmentation to reconstruction, from shadow into clarity. In encountering the works, viewers inevitably confront their own reflection.
May this exhibition serve as a mirror, a place to hold emotion, and a space that allows for new beginnings. For true nirvana lies not in forgetting the past, but in moving forward with the scars that shape us—finding once again how to breathe, and in doing so, reshaping life itself.
The Ancients said:
"If you don't climb a mountain, you don't know how high the sky is"...
When I was 20, I saw mountains exactly as mountains, and water exactly as water. Early in my life, I was curious and fresh about the world, and looked at everything with a childlike perspective.
At that age, everything is generally beautiful in our eyes. We are ignorant of many things, but we persist in believing that what we see is the most real. We believe that the world always works according to very precise rules and sometimes we finally hit walls. This leads us to doubt reality and the world.
At 30, mountains are no longer mountains, and water is no longer water.
There are too many temptations in the mortal world, too many unspoken rules hidden behind hypocritical masks. What you see is not necessarily true, it is just like looking at flowers in the fog: it seems real and imaginary at the same time. Mountains are not mountains, water is not water, it is easy for us to lose our way in reality, and confusion, hesitation, pain and struggle ensued.
Now, at 45, it's kind of back-to-basics.
After seeing the world, after accumulating experiences in my life, while constantly introspecting myself, I gained a better understanding of the world and my own search. I know what I'm looking for, on the one hand, and what I should give up, on the other.
Today the mountains are still mountains, and the water is still water. It's just that mountains and water, in my eyes now, have another meaning and specific shapes, existing in this world. This is my current state of mind. At the same time, we know that in reality the existence or variation of "mountains" and "waters" depends on changes in their environment and climatic conditions. Once changed, this mountain and this water will no longer be this mountain and this water.
If you can look at all things with this mindset, learn to grasp the right conditions and improve the unfavorable restrictions, then you will have the opportunity to achieve that state of extreme freedom which we call "NIRVÂNA". A state similar to the perfect happiness of orgasm…
And you? What do you see?
