Three Guests in the Human World is a traditional ink painting based on the dynamic figures in the classic painting The Holy Trinity. The work retains the original character design but transforms the story of the gods descending to earth into a relaxed scene of playing poker. By transforming the solemn expressions into expressions that urge for the cards to be played, it injects humor into the traditional ink painting.

​

In terms of technique, it combines traditional brushwork and meticulous painting with three-layer shading to create depth. The work aims to allow viewers to not only feel the weight of the classic but also experience the vitality of contemporary innovation.

​

「三位人間客人」是依據經典名畫「三位一體」中的人物動態所創作的水墨作品。作品保留原作的人物設定，卻將神明降世的故事轉化為打撲克牌的輕鬆場景。透過將莊嚴神態轉為催促出牌的表情，為傳統水墨注入幽默感。

​

在技法上，既運用傳統皴擦與工筆，也透過三次疊染營造層次。作品希望讓觀者既感受到經典的重量，也體驗當代創新的活力。
