Painting is not simply transferring some subject matter to the canvas, but is the world that the painter sees in his mind's eye, and his reaction to beauty, expressed through the brush and ink. Only paintings with "soul" can move people and cause them to feel delight.
繪畫絕不是依樣畫葫蘆，更不是把實體框進畫面，而是畫家心中所視的境界，對美的感動，並把這份心靈的視野藉由筆墨表達出來。有了「畫魂」，才是一幅好畫，能讓人感動，生出歡喜之心。
