半个多世纪，我进化的是艺术人生~脑力和体力充盈着画画的事。而开启我觉悟和智慧的力量来自于生命科学，宗教、哲学、美学、物理学、考古、体育、军事、天文学、并有诗歌，戏曲、音乐、舞蹈、建筑、美食等各类杂学，这些实在与虚幻，凝聚并飘散在我走过的所有时空。艺术修养着我的表与里，媒体忽悠着我的才与情，口碑流传着我的是与非。而我在挥毫游走于黑白五彩的宣纸世界时，洞察了人在世间的穿行……我被太阳、四季宠爱着，被朋友呵护着。一路高歌欢乐颂弘法在无处不在的道场。混沌中不期的奇妙是我艺术人生的最大慰藉。我，一个有爱无恨的吉祥快乐金刚！

Yang Yan, Hui Chinese, born in 1958 on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, was originally named Yang Yanning. He styles himself Muyi, Yangyi, with alternative names including Benqi, Owner of the Mastiff, Owner of Duyijing Study. He is a member of the Chinese Artists Association, Chinese Religion Association, Jiu San Society, Vice-President of Chinese Ethnic Groups’ Fine Arts Academy, honored scholar at Nanjing Museum, professor at the Art School of Peking University, and President for Landscape-Painting of the Worldwide Chinese Artists Association.      

Yang Yan has learned from Wang Dunhua, Hua Tuo, Ya Ming, Huang Zhou, Li Keran respectively. He experiments with a variety of techniques, with specialty in splash-ink painting. His works extend in categories covering over-size work, album, sketch, landscape, flowers-and-birds, portrait, animal, and everything you could imagine. Critiques always highly commend him as the sun rising from the east, inheriting the traditional yet developing his unique technique, embracing both southern Chinese and northern Chinese style, as well as the western style, a legend in the east, and the outstanding in splash-ink painting.

Yang Yan values both hands-on experiences and theories, both techniques and the thoughts behind. He has published books including Yang Yan Talks About Art, The Analysis of Li Keran’s Landscape Paintings, The Analysis of Lu Yanshao’s Landscape Paintings, The Analysis of Zhang Daqian’s Landscape Paintings, Yang Yan’s Painting Series (issue 1-6), Modern Chinese Artists Series-Yang Yan Issue, Contemporary Chinese Artists Series-Yang Yan Issue, Works by Modern Chinese Artists Series-Yang Yan Issue, Works by Yang Yan (in six versions), Call from the Mountains-Yang Yan’s Landscape Paintings, Renown Contemporary Chinese Artists Series-Yang Yan Issue, Chinese Artist-Yang Yan, Selected Modern Chinese Artists-Yang Yan’s Flowers-and-Birds Painting, etc.  

而我在挥毫游走于黑白五彩的宣纸上时，洞察了人在世间的穿行……浑沌中不期的妙有，使我渐渐成了一个有爱无恨的人！

Yang Yan was born in the Year of the Dog. Over more than half a century, he has been on a constant march for art since his birth. Most of his time and thoughts have been spent for painting solely. Thanks to wisdom from all areas, including biology, religion, philosophy, art history, physics, archeology, sports, military affairs, astronomy, as well as poetry, opera, theater, film, dance, photography, architecture, etc., he finds his moments of epiphany. He said, all these mentioned above, be it real or surreal, have left their traces in my life, in terms of time, as well as space. Art educates my body and soul. However, I cannot help bragging sometimes via media. And rumors thus go from town to town, which I do not really care. When I lose myself in painting with ink, black and color, I could discover the very true meanings in life… It must be a miracle, just like universe starts to grow from an infinite chaos, that I feel so grateful to become never to hate, but always to love.
