【呂浩元 Lu Hao Yuan】 自己 Me, Myself

呂浩元說：「畫畫，從小就是我的興趣，希望永遠都是我的興趣就好。」

他是一位創作者，因為不喜歡被稱爲是藝術家。 平時，他也在古董店擔任攝影師，因為他，喜歡老的東西。

對他來說，每個創作，唯一的核心價值就是「服務的對象就是他自己」。 創作題材從家人朋友的肖像畫、植物到古董收藏，用隱晦的方式，呈現當下的自己。 他彷彿堅毅的想在亂世中站穩步筏，不隨波逐流，也不喜好當今流行的事物，更不嚮往議題性敘事，而是靠直覺、幽默與娛樂自己的方式進行創作，因為任何物質與物體，只是相對於生命的存在罷了。

他說：「對於創作，我只是想要展現自己的生命，又或是，想表現相對於比較純粹的美感，屬於自己的美感」。

呂浩元有著一個令人嚮往又浪漫的生命軌跡。有些人可能像我ㄧ樣，尚未找到一件多麽喜愛的事情，足以願意做另一份工作去支撐與維持喜愛之事。他，不讓興趣變成生活壓力的來源。

「畫畫應該要像吃飯睡覺這麼平常，不是心情好或不好才畫，就算心情不好你還是得吃飯，所以畫畫就是件再平常不過的事情。」，最後，他泰然自若地這麼說著。

Lu Hao-Yuan once said, “Painting is my interest since I was a child. I hope that it will just be my interest as it always does.”

He is more like a creator because he doesn't like people calling him as an artist. Usually, he also works for an antique shop as a photographer because he likes old things.

For Lu, the only core value of each creation is that “he creates only for himself and will never go after what the audience is.”. His creation, from the portraiture of his family and friends, his favorite plants to his own antique collections, presents himself at a particular moment in an obscure way. He seems to be determined to not to follow the trend, and not to convey any current issue, but to create the creations by his intuition, humor in order to entertain himself. Plus, he feels that any substance and objects are just relative to the existence of life.

“The things I create, I just want to present how my life is or the sense of aesthetics.”, he said.

I think that Lu has a fascinating and romantic life. Some people may be like me, haven’t found any favorite things enough to make ourselves do another job to support things we love to do. Mostly, he will not allow interest (painting and drawing) become the pressure of his life.

At the end of the conversation, he said, "Painting should be as normal as eating and sleeping no matter you are having a good or bad mood. Because even if you are in a bad mood, you still have to eat, right? So painting is the most relatively common thing.”.
