Homage to Mother Nature – INWAC Malaysia Art Exhibition 2025
 

Since the dawn of civilization, humankind has looked to nature not merely for sustenance but also for meaning, inspiration, and hope. The rising sun, the flowing river, the blooming flower – each reveals something of life’s mystery and beauty. Nature is both our first teacher and our final reminder: we are created beings, deeply dependent on the earth and entrusted with its care.
 

In celebrating Homage to Mother Nature, we also affirm the role of women artists in shaping our cultural landscape. Women, like the earth itself, embody resilience, nurture, and creativity. Through their art, they remind us that beauty is not ornamental but essential – it is a way of seeing the world with reverence and responsibility.

Today, as we face ecological crises and a world often driven by consumption and speed, the voice of art is urgently needed. Art calls us to pause, to reflect, and to realign our lives with values that sustain rather than exhaust. The works gathered in this exhibition invite us into that moment of contemplation.
 

I commend the Malaysia Women Artists Association for bringing together such a rich tapestry of artistic expressions, and for situating women’s voices at the heart of this dialogue between art and nature. May these works awaken in us a deeper gratitude for our Creator God and for the earth, and may they renew our resolve to safeguard what God has so graciously entrusted to us for generations to come.

Congratulations to all participating artists for offering their vision and spirit to this meaningful exhibition.

《彩染天地》—— 2025马来西亚国际女艺术家联展

 

自文明伊始，人类便仰望自然。我们不仅从中获取生存所需，更在其中探寻意义、汲取灵感、孕育希望。旭日初升、江河奔流、花木荣枯——自然的律动无不在揭示生命的奥秘与壮美。她是人类最初的导师，亦是永恒的启示：我们既依赖大地的滋养，也肩负守护她的使命。

 

《彩染天地》不仅是对自然的深情礼赞，更是对女性艺术家在文化图景中独特力量的彰显。女性，如大地般，孕育生命、坚韧不拔、充满创造力。她们的艺术提醒我们：美，绝非浮华的点缀，而是生命的本真——它是一种敬畏世界、珍视万物的生活姿态。

 

当生态危机与消费主义浪潮席卷时代，艺术的呼唤尤显迫切。它让我们驻足沉思，引领心灵与恒久、永续的价值重新联结。本次展览的作品，正是邀约我们步入这沉思的圣殿。

 

谨此盛赞马来西亚女艺术家协会，汇聚如此丰沛的艺术硕果，并将女性的声音置于艺术与自然对话的核心。愿这些作品唤醒我们对造物主上帝和大地更深的感恩，並更新我们守护上帝所慷慨托付之美好的决心，使之惠及世世代代。

 

祝贺所有参展艺术家，以灵感与心力共同铸就这场意义深远的艺术盛典！
