Literature
Using bold brushstrokes and subtle tonal contrasts, Chen explores local landscapes, capturing the essence of a traditional Malay village. He layers rich textures that evoke both the physical beauty of the village and its cultural significance, creating a serene atmosphere that reflects the deep connection between the people and their environment. His Nanyang style seamlessly blends Eastern traditions with modern Western techniques, contributing to the development of a distinctly Southeast Asian art identity.

陈文希使用大胆的笔触和微妙的色调对比,探索当地的景观,捕捉传统马来村落的精髓。他层叠丰富的纹理,既唤起了村落的自然美,也彰显了其文化意义,创造出一种宁静的氛围,反映了人们与环境之间深厚的联系。他的南洋风格将东方传统与现代西方技法完美融合,为发展独特的东南亚艺术身份做出了贡献。
