My engagement with traditional Chinese painting has evolved since I discovered the art of Gongbi, a precise realist technique that has shaped the way I view “perfection” in a culture that values excellence. The core essence of Gongbi Gong jin, meaning “tidy,” echoes the Confucian principle of self-discipline. With every stroke, contour, and shade, I strive for precision through an iterative process of continual refinement. Excellence is not a final destination, but rather a process of ongoing mastery and growth.
