說真的，我在畫任何一幅畫之前，並沒有如前人所講的先成竹在胸，而後再呈現出來。沒有，我只能說是畫到哪裡算哪裡，隨機的、慢慢整理出來。

我常覺得一幅畫要美，主要是美在構圖，尤其是色塊、墨塊之間，要安排穩當妥適，奇特而又合情合理，自能獲得觀者的共鳴；若構圖安排巧妙，濃淡乾濕都具備，色塊墨點都能聚散有致，有虛有實，虛實相生，空靈而不壅塞，便可構成一張好作品。

To be honest, before I paint a painting, it's not like people used to say. that I had an idea fully formed in my head, and then I put it all down. I don't have any coherent idea. I just paint as far as my inspiration takes me, and that's it. I slowly and randomly set up a painting.

I often feel that a painting must have a beautiful composition to be beautiful. In particular, the patches of color and ink should be arranged in a firm, appropriate manner, and the layout should be distinctive yet sensible, so that the work resonates with viewers. If the composition is cleverly laid out, work possesses both light and dark tones and both moisture and dryness, the colors and ink marks are perfectly dispersed and clustered, there is simultaneously substance and illusion, the substance and illusion flow from each other, and the work is charming without being too busy, then this can be a good work.＠
