Through my artwork I can fulfill an interior state of searching for answers to one's big questions of life.
When I first learned how to produce a woodblock print during middle school, I knew this was a life changing event, a milestone of my life.

To succeed in this field one needs to build up two strengths: physical endurance –late bed and early rise are a rule and a lifestyle- and an open and ever-seeking mind. I embrace the art of Woodblock print probably because it is the type of art that I feel and relate with most deeply. Working hard is something I learned very early in life coming from a poor countryside village. Producing and later viewing my work I see the simple language of carved wood, through dots and lines, a certain wisdom, intellect and quietness arise from my artworks.
My artwork conveys the simple, naked language of the wood and the reserved loneliness difficult to express with words. The work of Sang Maolin takes us to a deeper spiritual plane, forcing our thoughts to penetrate into the wide expanse of a cosmos full of limitless dormant life forces, making us feel just like we do every time we gaze into the skies bestrewn in countless stars, realizing how small and insignificant we are, while comprehending the true depth of the human soul. |
