About the Item
"A Nonlinear Mind Veins Its White Sky" showcases the artist's skill in utilizing texture, color, and pattern to create a sense of inner dimension. The vivid brushes of Zen calligraphy add nuance to the piece, conveying a sense of emotion and creativity. The expansion of space (Chi or Qi) and extension of time (rhythm) are palpable, as if the painting canvas itself is a living, breathing entity that invites the viewer to explore its many layers of meaning and significance. Inspired by the dynamic energy of sprouting, this painting imagery captures the essence of growth and rapid transformation through a carefree and content approach. Through an upturned and striking compositional process, the artist hereby invites the viewer to explore the intricate details of a peaceful and natural world.
From 2022 to 2023, Cymn extended a soul karma in her Washington saloon that spearheads to create a masterful suited style of American ethos. The ethos showcases an accomplishment in self-realization of aesthetic views of both Eastern and Western cultures. Wong attempts to vitalize certain built-in imageries and present the visual world via a dynamic interaction for human passion with the environment and the universe. In retrospect about the reciprocity between poetry and art, Cymn’s artistic attainments are expanding into a vivid oasis that she has been stimulated in an international platform.
Three turning points of creativity for Cymn Wong’s recent paintings: (1) SHIFT IN AESTHETICS: From traditional Chinese painting to contemporary New York Abstract Expressionism; (2) DRIFT IN POETICS: From poetic vision to Zen mindful calligraphy-landscape; (3) TWIST IN CONTEXT: From Hong Kong to American Experiences.
Cymn renders abstract landscapes with a particular frame of mind in poetry that reveals the meaning of painting intoxicated by its mood and image. For example, by incorporating the shape of the bean sprout into visual language, her art creates an alternative way of revealing the wisdom of Zen philosophy and its insights. The unique aesthetic of her paintings is a fusion of the fluidity and freedom of abstract expressionism with the contemplative practice of Zen calligraphy. This integration of passionate energy and meditative stillness presents a landscape that is holistically dynamic and contemplative, evocative and reflective.
The bean sprout is a crystalized symbol. Its unique shape evokes the numbers "0" and "1". The "0" of the bean sprout represents nothingness or emptiness, a void that is pregnant with potential. The "1", on the other hand, represents possibilities and growth. The dynamic interplay between these two facets for growth, meanwhile its renewal is inherent continuously in every moment.
In short, Cymn Wong’s painting is imbued with subtle fuse of intrinsic imagery and poetic fluidity, allowing the inner-echoes to lead the brushstrokes on its own accord. With a heightened sense of life vigor that goes beyond a mere representation, Cymn is sensitized and mindful free to present a transformed landscape anew.

A Bean Inches Sprouting into Clinch
Located in Rockville, MD
Creating on the vibrant energy of abstract expressionism, this dynamic painting process celebrates the power of growth and transformation through the image of a sprouting plant which arms out as if it is to hold the totality of man’s world. It also stretched out its body to embrace the wonders of the living sky. Through a bold and striking composition, suppressed colors free and doted white strokes, the painting invites the viewer to explore the intricate details of the natural world and to the potential for endless possibilities that exists within us all in a new light.
From 2022 to 2023, Cymn extended a soul karma in her Washington saloon that spearheads to create a masterful suited style of American ethos. The ethos showcases an accomplishment in self-realization of aesthetic views of both Eastern and Western cultures. Wong attempts to vitalize certain built-in imageries and present the visual world via a dynamic interaction for human passion with the environment and the universe. In retrospect about the reciprocity between poetry and art, Cymn’s artistic attainments are expanding into a vivid oasis that she has been stimulated in an international platform.

A New Bean Baby
Located in Rockville, MD
It isn't just a painting canvas, but a breathing spectrum. Ephemeral beauty lies in its capture of the fleeting moments of warmth, tenderness and excitement. The sweet, pastel hues create a sense of gentle optimism, purity and innocence, as if the bean sprout was a newborn child. Through the use of scattering strokes and dots, the enriched painting varieties imbue a tiny sprout with continuous movement and vitality. The zigzag-simple, yet diagonal-powerful composition draws the eye towards open ends of the piece, evoking a symbolic essence of birth, renewal, and cycling.
