Collection: Flora and Woodlands Series 花木系列

花木畫是中國繪畫中的重要題材，專注於描繪花卉、樹木、竹石及四季植被，展現自然之美與深遠寓意。不同於花鳥畫，花木畫純粹歌頌植物生命，常借由季節變遷、自然和諧、哲理象徵來傳達意境。此畫科兼具工筆細描的精緻筆法與寫意潑墨的抒情韻味，表現細膩或豪放之美。常見主題包括梅（堅韌）、蘭（高雅）、竹（氣節）、松（長壽），部分畫作更融入金箔、銀箔，增添畫面層次與光澤感。

歷來文人墨客以花木畫寄託情懷，常結合書法與詩詞，賦予作品更豐富的文化內涵。花木畫廣泛應用於文人畫、寺廟壁畫、屏風裝飾，既是藝術表現，也承載道德與精神象徵。

Floral and woodlands painting is a key genre in Chinese art, depicting flowers, trees, bamboo, rocks, and seasonal plants to convey nature’s beauty and symbolism. Unlike bird-and-flower painting, it focuses solely on plant life, expressing seasonal change, harmony, and philosophy.

This genre blends gongbi (meticulous brushwork) for precision and xieyi (expressive freehand) for spontaneity. Common motifs include plum (resilience), orchid (elegance), bamboo (integrity), and pine (longevity), with some works incorporating gold and silver foil for depth.

Historically cherished by scholars and literati, these paintings often integrate calligraphy and poetry. Featured in literati art, temple murals, and decorative screens, they symbolise virtue and refinement. Today, they continue to evolve, merging tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
