Food makes one nostalgic, as well as remembering fondly the good time in the past. Food culture and dining derive from a long-term life experience, through which one discovers the creation of elements from a person’s inner emotion and feelings. My research originated from living, observing and pondering life’s meaning. From the diet aesthetic view of nature it defines the harmonious relationship between humans and the universe. We live in order to facilitate the way of heaven to benefit others by emulating the law of universe. In this study the root of creation integrated the various theoretical basis of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism on food (eating and drinking) as an intrinsic meaning to enrich the themes, associated with food in the paintings. Apart from this, various subjects discovered during the research, regardless of East or West opinion on food, (religious or anecdotal), many elements had reflected the life and metaphorical process of that time period. For example, in the East there were (Painting of Literary Gathering), (The Qingming-Roll), portrayed people’s living in- and outside the palace. While in the west, there was (Butcher and Exodus), which expressed the significance of the existence of objects (3/4 of the painting was composed of food). Religion became a supporting role. People came to understand the social vicissitude from their food culture. Art is the performance of humanities. The different styles of culinary preparation changed the creative process in the social experience. Based on the above theories, paintings express humanity and the different spectrums of food. It represents a different appearance which aroused personal study on painting and inspired a new vision. Through this creative process techniques such as pen, ink, mood and color, as well as undertaking experiment, analyzing and comparing, have heightened the expression of paintings scheme related to the living and dining, and also deepened the meaning of painting. Creating is a life-long vocation. Through my study on this particular subject of painting, it has expanded and deepened my personal performance. It has also inspired my passion to pursue greater understanding of the relationship of food and art.
