秦代的兵馬俑是中國(guó)極具代表性的歷史符號(hào)，是威武、剛強(qiáng)和忠誠(chéng)的象征，而布滿朱雀等祥瑞圖案的大門(mén)則暗含著國(guó)門(mén)之意。作者轉(zhuǎn)借兵馬俑的造型，將“武裝”與“護(hù)衛(wèi)”兩種意象并置畫(huà)面之中，以物喻人，暗含了對(duì)中華傳統(tǒng)“以和為貴”精神內(nèi)核的思考與解讀。在形式上，將中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化、民間藝術(shù)用西畫(huà)技巧予以表現(xiàn)，用油畫(huà)傳達(dá)東方詩(shī)意。

The terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty are one of China's most important historical symbols, representing power, staunchness and loyalty. The gate in the painting, with auspicious imagery such as rosefinches, represents the gate of our country. Borrowing the imagery of the terracotta warriors, the artist put both “armament” and “guardian” inside a painting, embodying and interpreting traditional Chinese concept of harmony. In terms of painting techniques, the artist creates a Western painting to portray traditional Chinese culture and Chinese folk art, where the Oriental poetic sentiment is conveyed by the oil painting.
