Introduction
< p>He Chun's daily homework is to study Chinese traditional culture, study Buddhist scriptures, practice piano and painting, and occasionally go out to visit and study. As a realistic painter, in addition to his achievements in painting, he also tried to integrate the appeal of music, the essence of Chinese studies, and life insights into paintings and present them through visual art. Still tirelessly pursuing the perfect artistic realm and climbing to a higher level.Personal experience
He Chun picked up painting at the age of 3. His father is a rightist and his mother is a worker. He has limited learning conditions and only paints for his own entertainment. At the age of 15, his father took him to Yunnan to study under the heavy color painter He Yongkun. After moving to a new environment, He Chun fell in love with music. In addition to painting, he also learned musical instruments such as piano and guqin, which had a great impact on his future artistic creation. After graduating from university, I concentrated on studying pen painting, and I have a special liking for simple and convenient ballpoint pens. In 2011, he studied Buddhism under Master Shi Shengdao, whose name is Guochun.

Secret in the Shape Mountain
2012 "Secret in the Shape Mountain", 250g watercolor paper, 110cmx50cm
Colored ballpoint pen painting "Secret in the Shape Mountain" was created in 2012. It took half a year to complete and was exhibited at the 2012 Chenxi First China New Pen Painting Art Festival. The superb painting techniques and mysterious use of colors make it difficult for people to believe that this is a painting created with six-color ballpoint pens. "There is a treasure within heaven and earth, between the universe, and the secret is in the shaped mountain." "Shaped Mountain" refers to people's bodies. There is a formless self-nature in the body, which exists beyond the heaven, earth and universe. If you are confused, life is humble and insignificant in the physical body; if you are enlightened, life can obtain a steady stream of endless energy; the work uses a cliff as a metaphor for people's method of developing natural energy: facing the objective environment, we can see from it Is it a dangerous cliff? Or do you realize the existence of Buddha (awareness)? What people step on is not just cement, there are endless treasures hidden underneath. Our body is not just a flesh and blood body full of desires and troubles. Endless troubles are endless seeds of wisdom.

Personal opinion
Future art education will be based on the folk. Ballpoint pens are simple and common. The promotion of paintings is of great significance to the popularization of art knowledge among the masses. People are busy working in an impetuous society, and their spirits are flying in electronic information. They have long lost the sense of security of being "down to earth". A small ballpoint pen can allow people to regain the joy of writing, and enthusiasts can regain their childhood dreams of painting. Carve out a pure land for yourself. To paraphrase He Chun's own words: When others were playing mahjong or turning on the TV and computer as usual after meals, I took out my pen, picked up a piece of paper and drew a few strokes. The feeling was like ice in the hot summer, it was so refreshing.
