Mountains and Seas Without Borders I (山海無經I)

From the "Mountains and Seas" series, this painting sets resilient pines on isolated islands against a deep blue ocean backdrop, blending ink with color to evoke a dreamlike serenity. The title alludes to the ancient Shanhai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), reimagining mythic Chinese geography through a modern lens. Simple yet powerful lines and clearly defined colors create symbolic depth, pines for perseverance, distant mountains for eternity, bridging traditional Eastern landscape aesthetics with contemporary vision. Part of a four-painting series.
