When stepping into high mountains and lofty ridges or facing with seas and oceans， I always asked myself what is the most important thing in humans life and which is worthy to pursue between fame and spiritual enlightenment？ Chinese traditional landscape painting presents our national culture and ethnic spirits， which helps artists to find the balance among various desires.

每当余步入崇山峻岭，或面对海洋江川，或仰望无垠苍穹，或俯首苍茫大地，一种莫名的激动与震撼便油然而生。面对大自然的神奇造化、宇宙的深邃神秘，尤感人类生命之渺小、世人逐利钓誉之荒诞、世态人心之炎凉、人性精神之失落，突有鼻酸悲恸之凄。余欲把内心感受抒发于纸素，况心力不济，却也示己天人合一之轨迹，脱开臀部观其胎记，展现一个赤裸之真我。

在人类生命中，除了名利之外还可索求什么？人来到这个世界上做什么、做了些什么？人到世间来尽可能做些什么、做什么最有意义？只有对人生终极追问，才能激励求索者不断追求。在创作前必“神驰六合，骛极八荒”去思考，继而“外师造化，中得心源”进行创作。在每個艺术家的作品中无不打上生命的烙记。

在名利与精神之间，人生总是在一个充满极端矛盾的世界中苦苦熬煎，而余选择后者。吾中华文化博大精深，浩瀚历史长河中凸显苍凉悲壮之民族精神。华夏沃土之广袤亘古、恢宏大野，大象风骨，振聋发聩，阳刚之美，元气充盈。天地大美而不言，激励余向往独与天地精神往来之人生境界。

“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”，中国山水画要表现我大中华坚韧不拔之民族精神，弘扬我大山大水之气概；以气势恢宏、黄钟大吕、正气凛然、不屈不挠之精神风貌，奔涌艺术激情，奏唱生命赞歌，使之铅华洗尽，浴火重生，在精神与艺术上展现个性风貌！
