Original artwork description
This painting is inspired by the teachings of the Tao.
"The greatest perfection seems imperfect,
and yet its use is inexhaustible.
The greatest fullness seems empty,
and yet its use is endless.
Great straightness seems twisted.
Great Intelligence seems stupid.
Great eloquence seems awkward.
Great truth seems false.
Great discussion seems silent.
Activity conquers cold;
inactivity conquers heat.
Stillness and tranquility set things in order in the universe."
