研究方向：

我的研究植根艺术史与视觉文化，探讨艺术生成的内在逻辑及其与地域、文化、自然的互动。前期聚焦西方艺术史脉络与视觉符号阐释，后扩展至跨文化符号分析，尤其关注东西方风景画中自然意象的表征方式及其背后的文化认知与宇宙观。以符号学与视觉语义学为基点，解读艺术与当代文化实践的深层关联。

近年研究延伸至文化传播与应用层面，聚焦生态景观、文化旅游与非遗资源的创意转化。具体包括：传统自然观与现代生态意识的融合、文旅项目中的景观叙事构建，以及非遗符号向可持续地方文化标识的视觉转化。通过实践项目，探索艺术在社会场域中的生命力。

总体而言，我的研究从历史走向现实、从理论迈向实践，融合全球视角与在地经验，在文化符号、地域生态与现代传播之间搭建桥梁——既审视艺术如何被语境塑造，也追问艺术如何主动塑造世界。

Research Areas

My research is grounded in art history and visual culture, with a focus on the internal logic of artistic production and its interaction with region, culture, and nature. My earlier work concentrated on the historical development of Western art and the interpretation of visual symbols, and later expanded into cross-cultural semiotic analysis. In particular, I am interested in the representation of natural imagery in Eastern and Western landscape painting, as well as the cultural cognition and cosmological perspectives embodied in such representations. Drawing on semiotics and visual semantics, my research examines the deeper connections between art and contemporary cultural practice.

In recent years, my work has extended into the fields of cultural communication and applied research, with particular attention to the creative transformation of ecological landscapes, cultural tourism, and intangible cultural heritage resources. Specific areas of interest include the integration of traditional concepts of nature with modern ecological consciousness, the construction of landscape narratives in cultural tourism projects, and the visual transformation of intangible heritage symbols into sustainable markers of local cultural identity. Through practice-based projects, I continue to explore the vitality of art within broader social contexts.

Overall, my research moves from history to contemporary reality, and from theory to practice. Bringing together global perspectives and local experience, I seek to build connections among cultural symbols, regional ecology, and modern forms of communication—examining not only how art is shaped by context, but also how art actively shapes the world.
