精神能量-自序　　　　　蕭勤

　　『我的創作一直以來根植於「藝術與哲學思考的傳統」，進而追求「天人合一」之境界；雖然大部分起源於道家思想，但可變化萬千卻不離其宗。』

　　若要詮釋我個人的藝術，且容我如此導引：「以中國文化的智慧為根本，及引用西方文化漸進及自我省思的表現方式而走向無限；並維持探討永恆的赤子之心，讓自我的藝術生命不斷地持續成長。」

　　1989年我在丹麥哥本哈根與義大利與丹麥藝術家一起組成畫會，發起「國際SHAKTI」（炁）運動，SHAKTI就是「精神能量」，並舉辦了多次的展覽。也之所以今天用『精神能量』作為此展之名稱，因為;長久以來，我的藝術創作就是在傳達一個心靈成長的訊息和過程，它的任務：即如何去提升群眾的精神層面，和指引生命的真諦。而宇宙的大能量即是我創作中源源不絕最重要的靈感；雖我的創作思想源自老莊，經過西藏曼陀羅壁畫的洗禮，並融合佛家和禪宗的理念為基礎；這是我創作意涵中最不容忽視的部分。

　　每次當我創作時，初不知走向何處，但在某方面，我只希望走向「絕對」。畫题經常在一切完成之後才會出現，這也是為什麼我需要思索才能找出每件作品的緣起。

作為一個藝術創作者，我始於捕捉「一」，並將其成熟變為「一切」，來探討如何結合及超越精神與物質的整體性。

　　藝術不成問题，生命才是「大哉問」；而我呢，只是透過藝術創作來完成這一生的使命。

Spiritual Energy　　　　　Hsiao Chin

"My creation has always been rooted in the ‘tradition of artistic and philosophical thoughts, thus pursuing the realm of  'unity of universe and human'; although most of it originated in the Taoist ideology, the methods used may vary, but the principle is the same."
   
To interpret my personal art, please let me introduce my own creative connotation in this way: "Taking the wisdom of Chinese culture as the foundation and quote the way of gradual and self-inspection expressions of Western culture, then walking toward the infinity, also continue to explore the eternal feeling of innocence and let my artistic career continues growing". 

In 1989, I organized an art group with Italian artists and Danish artists in Copenhagen, Denmark to launch the "International SHAKTI" (Chi) movement. SHAKTI is the meaning of "Spiritual Energy." We held several exhibitions, the reason why I use "Spiritual Energy" as the theme of the exhibition is:      
This long-held belief in my heart has guided my artistic creation. At the same time, I also convey the message and process of spiritual growth through my works, to enhance the spiritual dimension of the masses, and guide the true meaning of life. The great energy of the universe is the most important and endless inspiration in my creation. Although my creative thinking originated in Lao Zhuang, through the baptism of Tibetan Mandala murals and based on the fusion concepts of Buddhism and Zen. This is the most indispensable part of my creative connotation.
Whenever I am creating, at the beginning I don't know where to go, but on the other hand, I only wanted to reach "absolute". The title of the painting will appear when everything is done, that is why I needed to think in order to find out the origin of each piece.

As an art creator, I began by capturing "one", and turning it mature into "everything", to explore how to combine and transcend spiritual and material integrity.
Art is not a problem, but life is "a great question." As for me, I just accomplish the mission of my life through artistic creation.
