Concept
Qianli Yan (Thousand-Mile Eyes) and Shunfeng Er (Favorable-Wind Ears) are Mazu's protective deities. 'Qianli Yan' represents 'observation', while 'Shunfeng Er' represents 'sound'. Mazu uses their divine powers to observe the world and hear the cries for help. In our minds, we also possess Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er. By observing and listening more to all things, distinguishing truth from falsehood, you too can harness the power of Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er. The dawn is just ahead.

About the artist

Ellie is an artist with a deep passion for creation, whose works always originate from the small moments of daily life. She seamlessly integrates her surroundings, experiences, and emotions into her art. Through her unique perspective, Ellie captures the vibrant moments of life and presents them to her audience in artistic form.
Her creative themes are diverse, encompassing everything from the joy of street food, travel adventures, the bustling scenes of local markets, intoxicating natural landscapes, the fervor of social movements, the grand atmosphere of festival parades, to the street scenes during the pandemic and election campaigns. Her paintings are not merely static images but time portals that transport viewers into her world, allowing them to feel the warmth of the emotions embedded in each scene.
Ellie records daily life through sketches, and when she encounters moments that deeply resonate with her, she internalizes them as the foundation for her work. This unique approach gives her pieces an authentic sense of real life and emotional resonance. As viewers enjoy her paintings, they not only witness the scenes but also connect with her emotions and perspectives, making her work richer and more dynamic.
Ellie’s art is a reflection of life and an expression of emotion, allowing us to gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty in our everyday experiences. Her work reminds us that even in the most ordinary moments, there lies infinite artistic inspiration waiting to be discovered and expressed.
