Therefore, when painters are painting, their bodies serve as the bridge between the spirit of the painters and Nature. They open up themselves to the world. Painters’ action is not determined by the spirit alone. Instead, “it is the natural extension and maturation of visuality.” In other words, painters need to work on the thoughts and the emotions evoked by Nature rather than painting on the basis of nothing. Spirituality is not what you paint with. It is necessary to experience the process from the eyes, to the heart, and finally to the hand. It proves that painting is nothing like an exact representation of the reality while it cannot be separate from the reality either. Painting is the mixture of objects and spirits, as how Maurice Merleau-Ponty puts it “no matter whether it is realistic or not, lines are neither the imitation of objects nor the objects themselves.”
