On a rainy afternoon, as the sun began to break through the clouds, I discovered an outdoor marble stone adorned with abstract black patterns, reminiscent of brushstrokes on a canvas. As I observed, two tiny snails slowly made their way across the stone’s surface, as if they were climbing a miniature mountain. This black-and-white abstract photograph captures the intricate patterns and textures of the marble, evoking a mountain landscape with the snails embarking on their quiet journey.
The image is a visual metaphor, encouraging the viewer to embrace patience and perseverance. Just as the snails steadily ascend the marble mountain, the photo serves as a reminder that even in life’s slow and challenging moments, there is beauty in persistence. The sunshine breaking through after the rain symbolizes hope and the rewards that await those who take the time to climb their own mountains, trusting that brighter days lie ahead.

Sanzhi Chieh is a painter and photographer whose work is a profound exploration of nature and positive energy. Since childhood, Sanzhi has been immersed in the art world, having begun painting at the age of eight. Her studies in Western art, conducted through a private high school, laid the foundation for a career marked by a commitment to artistic expression and emotional well-being.
Sanzhi’s art is infused with the philosophy of healing through art. Before each creation, she devotes herself to meditation, seeking to soothe her mind and channel positive energies into her works. Her paintings, primarily done in oil and acrylic, focus on nature and its manifestations, translating the nurturing love of the Earth through abstract compositions and clean lines. The color palettes she chooses are carefully selected for their psychological healing properties, aiming to evoke joy and relaxation in viewers.
Sanzhi also incorporates ritual practices into her creative process. While painting and drying, she often burns agarwood or copal, allowing the canvas to absorb their high energy. This approach adds a positive dimension to the art, influencing the feng shui arrangement of interior spaces. Her contemporary style, predominantly abstract, combines artistic creativity with therapeutic functionality, fostering a deep interaction with the audience.
Sanzhi Chieh's artistic journey is rich and diverse. Between 1984 and 1998, she underwent intensive training in Western art in Taiwan, excelling in competitions and exhibitions, where she received several awards for her works in watercolor, charcoal drawing, oil painting, and sculpture. She was inspired by great masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Zhang Daqian, and Claude Monet, and continued her artistic research through a photographic trip to Los Angeles, where she was influenced by the city's vibrant art scene.
Since 2023, Sanzhi has been dedicated to expanding his abstract style, exploring semi-abstract, abstract expressionism, and gestural abstraction. His contemporary inspirations include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Helen Frankenthaler, Jay DeFeo, and Nicolas de Staël.
