CURATOR'S WORDS
On the ancient land of Borneo, not only did vast tropical rainforests flourish, but countless known and unknown creatures thrived within them — and among them, innumerable human lives were also nurtured. The people who grew up on this land walked barefoot upon soft, fertile soil, enjoyed the forest’s rich bounty of food, breathed pure air, and absorbed the spiritual nourishment of an age-old culture. From such a magnificent natural and cultural environment, it is only natural that their inner worlds and creative visions would be profoundly unique. Thus, I call each of their creations ‘Diamonds from The Sky’.
‘Diamonds from the Sky’ is more than a metaphor for their pure and natural artistic technique — it embodies a sense of harmony with the cosmos, a quiet radiance that gleams with the essence of ancient culture in every delicate detail. These works are rare, precious, and especially so in our age of technological excess. Amid the noise and chaos of modern life, having one of these pieces in your home may offer a moment of serenity and ease — a gentle reminder to pause your hurried steps, to look, to appreciate, and to enter their world — where your spirit might find a place to rest.

在古老婆罗洲的土地上,不只滋养着广袤的热带雨林,还有林中无数知名与不知名的飞鸟禽兽,当然也孕育着无数人类的生命。生长在这片土地上的人们,赤脚踩在柔软肥沃的泥上,享受森林供应丰富的饮食资源,呼吸着清澈的空气,拥抱着古老文化的精神养分来润泽心灵。在如此瑰丽的文化与清纯的生活环境里生长的人,必然有着不一样的精神世界与创作灵感,因此,他们的每一幅创作,我皆谓之为天坠之钻。
天坠之钻,隐喻的不只是它天然无浊的绘画技巧,还有那种与宇宙浑然相融的气息与恬静、细缝间投放出古老文化闪烁的淳朴光辉。它们是稀有的、罕见的,尤其在这科技爆发的时代。在混乱与纷扰的滚滚尘世,有它一幅挂在家中,或许能带给您的心灵片刻的宁静与恬适;因为它会提醒您,停下片刻忙碌的脚步吧!凝视我、欣赏我、进入我的世界,我可以带给您一片心灵栖息的天地……
