Oil on canvas · 45 × 56 cm · 2018
Water of Life I is an oil painting by Jingmin Ren exploring water as a source of vitality, renewal and continuity. Across cultures and throughout history, water has carried profound symbolic meanings associated with creation, purification, abundance and the sustaining force of life.
Through colour, movement and flowing visual forms, the painting presents water not only as a natural element, but also as an expression of spiritual and emotional energy. Its continual movement suggests transformation—the capacity of life to renew itself and move beyond fixed boundaries.
Water of Life I invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with nature and the invisible forces that sustain existence. The work has been presented in multiple exhibition contexts, reflecting its continuing connection with audiences.
