美術家講究的是美感與協調。藝術家想要表達的,很多時候,是具有批判性思維的,是具有社會意識或自我意識的,所以,藝術家會願意為了意識流的傳達捨棄絕對美感。做一個粗糙的比喻,美術家給的是天堂,而藝術家給的是人間!

Valkoisia Siemeniä品牌故事
品牌構想是受到英國蘇格蘭小說家羅伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的想法啟發,他寫道:「不要以你的收穫來評判每一天,而是以你播下的種子來評判每一天。」 Valkoisia Siemeniä 取自芬蘭語,原意是white seeds。 期許品牌設計向經典文學致敬,能讓溫暖的設計成為世界的微光。每一幅畫作都是字畫的形式,結合文學與美學,帶出隱喻性的議題與生命省思。
所有人共好,社會祥和才可能有一個安全的生活空間!設計品牌這件事,我希望賦予的不單單只是美感,也希望同步輸出這些古典文學的智慧!很多時候,一句箴言,本身就是一個最有效的處方籤!願你我都能療癒他人也能被他人療癒。
品牌願景
希望未來可以以飯店房間為畫作的展場,打造充滿療癒系的空間與藝術盛會。繼續閱讀

Evaluation of Artistic Value
The evaluation of artistic value is not determined by originality, but rather by the manifestation of aesthetics. While originality is innate to every individual, aesthetics requires natural talent and cultivated refinement. Art evaluation must examine the composition's overall structure and the intricacy of its details. Margaret W. Lavigne's art design showcases extraordinary delicacy in aesthetics, absolute color harmony, and her expertise in layering textures and stacking layers further enriches her work. A piece of artwork can be perceived as a piece of delicate furniture, a generous gift, a wise collection for self-love, or a potentially high-return investment.
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” --Robert Louis Stevenson

無道人之短,無說己之長。
施人慎勿念,受施慎勿忘。
