During the Tang Dynasty, the Zen Buddhist tradition popularized 'stupa burials,' where pagodas were erected at the meditation sites of eminent monks after their ing. Honggu Mountain, a sacred site for Zen practice, houses this cliff-carved stone stupa as a symbol of the spiritual achievements of Master Dayuan.The stupa takes the form of a cliff relief pagoda, carved directly into the rock face. Its integration with the mountain's form embodies the eternal nature of Buddhist teachings, resonating with the Zen philosophy that 'landscape itself is Dharma.'In his later years, Tang Dynasty painter Jing Hao retreated to Honggu Mountain, where the rugged simplicity of the mountain forests influenced his brushwork philosophy. In his Notes on Brushwork, he emphasized 'bold and vigorous brushstrokes,' which may have originated from his observations of linear carvings in stone grottoes. This aesthetic also inspired my approach to the painting's rhythm. I sought to convey the weathered majesty of nature using a painting knife, while gold foil inlay reflects the age of millennia.Today, the mountain's hues have shifted, as described in the poem Seven-Character Regulated Verse: Inscribed on Master Dayuan's Cliff-Carved Stupa at Honggu Mountain:'A millennium's mark engraved deep on cliffs, A silent pagoda faces the empty woods.'Yet in seclusion here, one can still sense the serene tranquility of this Zen sanctuary. This is not the existential void glimpsed through grand historical narratives, but rather a divine summons—a return to faith, renewed.

Hoho Kuo,female, who learned painting from her father, the artist Mr. Guo Yu, since childhood. She graduated from the Stage Design Department of the Central Academy of Drama and later from the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy.Now based in Shanghai. Active in the visual arts industry as an independent director, painter, and other multiple roles. She directed the advertising film "Lively City," which won the China International Advertising Film Golden Lion Award.In 2024,she devoted herself fully to the field of artistic painting,continuously garnering attention from awards and setting sales records in both public and private domains.For Hoho Kuo,compared to the oil painting medium that she has been familiar with since childhood,she prefers the versatility and ease of acrylic materials, which allow for both thick application and glazing. :“This enables me to create clear edges and explore both internal and external spaces to express rich emotions”.Her learning and project experience in film and theater have given her a more thorough insight into the exploration and handling of space, light and shadow, and characters' inner worlds.: “leading a filming team and integrating elements on a canvas are equally rich and detail-filled experiences”.
