"Searching for the Heart" Series
Taiwan Artist Jian Shaolong's "Searching for the Heart" Series Oil Paintings Concept
When you feel lost, you need to ask yourself the right questions. When the questions are correct, the answers will gradually reveal themselves.
What kind of state of mind am I searching for? This is my question.
My work depicts some special and beautiful states of mind around my life. Captured in the paintings, they offer immersion, intoxication, and pursuit. The current works begin with a deeper understanding of white. The same white can be intense or gentle, and within the tranquil and soft brushstrokes, it reveals the state of mind I have long been searching for.
The "Searching for the Heart" series consists of seven oil paintings:
No.1 "Joy": This represents a stable and calm joy that I have experienced.
"Joy": Size: 3.0×41.0 cm
No.2 "Walking on Clouds": Free, relaxed, and carefree.

No.3 "Love": Cherishing what we love and devotedly sticking together.
"Love": Size: 65×50 cm
No.4 "As Quiet as Snow": A feeling of tranquility akin to a snowy landscape.

No.6 "Perfect Sensation": A subtle resonance of perfect balance.

No.7 "Light": A steady and peaceful dazzling light.

The seven pieces in the "Seeking the Heart" series each contain a realm of the soul that one can delve into on their own. Sometimes, when I gaze at these paintings, I lose track of time, forget myself, and quietly drift beyond the material world.
Through creation, pursuing all the way forward, I always find scenery that surprises me. Thus, I will continue to search for the next answer along my artistic journey.
