Rocky Mountains
Colour Marker on Paper
Drawing by Paoling Rees
Rocky Mountains was inspired by the Rockies, a major mountain range and the largest mountain system in North America.
The minimalist charm of mountain line drawing brings a modern, abstract touch to any space, capturing the mountain view with lines and vibrant colours. Ideal for those who appreciate the beauty in simplicity.
I used colour markers and worked in a "naïve" style with wild imaginations to show the natural beauty, emotion and pure conceptual ideas. I enjoyed creating these geographical landscapes in the forms that included both simple and complicated visions. I hope this freezing moment can inspire a sense of freedom and connection of life.

Paoling Rees
Taiwanese-born Paoling Rees’ work is characterised by the range of using the vibrant colours and simple shapes to convey moments and feelings about real or imagined semi-abstract landscapes. Paoling also works in a "naïve" style with wild imaginations to show the natural beauty, emotion and pure conceptual ideas.
Paoling, based in England, typically renders her works using acrylic on rice paper (or Xuan paper, originating in ancient China), markers, colour pencils and oil pastels on paper.
Paoling earned a BSc at National Taiwan University of Arts. After moving to the U.K., she completed a master’s degree at the University of Southampton. Working as a freelance artist and designer, her practice has developed in the exploration of art and print design.
At the heart of Paoling’s pieces is the palpable persistence in her response to colour. Colour is emotion, colour is memory, colour has its language. And we are all invited to hear what they are saying.
