Yushan is the most representative mountain of Taiwan,
known for its towering peaks, majestic and imposing
presence, and commanding the landscape. Viewed from the
northeast, it exudes the dignity and grandeur of a king. I
recall that when I first started learning to paint, my teacher
assigned us to create a painting of Yushan’s winter scenery,
and this work is my second painting with Yushan as the
subject. The texture of the painting is built up layer by layer
from the leftover paint that my classmates left behind after
studio sessions.
In winter, Yushan is covered in snow, resembling a northern
wonderland. I intentionally added a warm-colored cloud in
the sky to depict Yushan as a guardian, protecting Taiwan
like a mother watches over this treasured island.
