AMAN | 画册
我叫王旎，职业是建筑师，也是八岁的小姑娘阿满的妈妈。
My name is Wang Ni, I am an architect and the mother of eight-year-old girl named Aman.
因为我工作的关系，阿满出生以来就对于画画这件事从不感到陌生，在我们大部分相处的时间里，她总是陪着我画图，看我做模型或者开会讲方案；直到她五岁的一天，她支支吾吾的跟我表达想要学画画。于是，从这幅素描《霍比特人》开始，阿满学画画已经满三年了。
Aman has been familiar with drawing since she was born. During most of our time together, she would join me in sketching, model making, or discuss design schemes in meetings. It wasn't until she was five that she hesitantly expressed a desire to learn drawing herself. Hence her drawing journey began with the sketch "The Hobbit," and it has been three years since.
阿满的创作的原点来自于参考图片或照片。日常中我们会一起欣赏画作和音乐，讨论如何观看和品读创作背后的意图，我常常鼓励阿满去观察，感受，内化之后开始自己独立创作。
Aman's creations inspiration came from reference images or photographs. We often enjoy artworks and music together, discussing how to view and interpret the intentions behind the creations. I always encourage Aman to observe, feel, and internalize before starting her own independent creations.
人工智能和图像技术发展至今天，真实与虚幻的边界已变得模糊不清，而绘画的意义也早已不是纪录真实。但如果我们反观作为“人”的存在，回归对真实自我的认知本能，是任何科技都无法取代的。从内心深处生发出的体验和感动，从“求真”形成自我的表达，在创作中获得快乐和共鸣。在这神奇的转化中，全然在当下的投入，会长久的滋养我们的身心。
With the advancement of AI and imaging technology, the boundary between reality and illusion has blurred, and the purpose of painting is no longer just to record reality. Yet, if we look at ourselves as 'human beings', returning to our innate recognition of the true self is something technology cannot replace. The experiences and emotions that sprout from deep within, the self-expression formed from seeking truth, and the joy and resonance found in creation, nourish our minds and bodies in this miraculous transformation.
正如这本小画集中收录的作品，取材是围绕着阿满的生活，她身边的人和事物，她的惊奇，幸福和感动。她在很多有感触的画旁留下自己的点评，从日常中取材，回望，建构她内心的真实。
Just like the works included in this small collection of paintings, the material revolves around Aman's life, the people and things around her, her surprises, happiness, and emotions. She often leaves her own comments next to the touching paintings, drawing inspiration from daily life, reflecting, and constructing her inner reality.
我特意把她创作前参考的图像也附上，希望如实体现她创作的思考过程。这听起来好像是我在对她进行某种绘画指导，但事实上，反而是她的创作，给我带来了更多感动和启发，她的视角和观点，也在潜移默化的影响着我的设计和研究。
I have deliberately included the images she referred to before creating her works, hoping to accurately reflect her thought process in creation. It might seem like I am guiding her in painting, but in fact, it is her creations that bring me more emotion and inspiration. Her perspective and views subtly influence my designs and research.
当一天结束的时候，我们会在一起演奏音乐，分享彼此最近的作品，讨论从现实之外如何看待这个世界。我意识到作为妈妈，我只不过比她年长而已，在一起学习的过程中，有幸与她互相陪伴，蓬勃生长。以至于有时候我也并不确定如何回答她的提问，什么是艺术？
At the end of the day, we play music together, share our recent works, and discuss how to view the world beyond reality. I realize that as her mother, I am merely older than her by age, it is a privilege to grow alongside her and live our learning journey together. In this case I am not sure how to answer her question, what is art?
“如果觉得蒙娜丽莎的微笑很美，那她就是你心中的艺术；如果觉得达利的超现实能带给你惊喜，那他就是艺术；如觉得梵高的向日葵自有生命的倔强，那他就是艺术。艺术本来就难以解释，如果能在其中寻找到创作者与你之间的连接，那一瞬间的触动，便是莫大的欣喜，也就是艺术了吧。”
“If you find Mona Lisa's smile beautiful, then it is art to you. If Dali's surrealism surprises you, then it is art. If you feel Van Gogh's Sunflowers are defiantly alive, then he is art. Art is difficult to explain, but if you find a connection between the creator and yourself in it, that instant touch is a great joy, and perhaps, that is art.”
