The idea behind this painting came to me 4-5 months back when I was looking at a broken hardware from my PC. It was always there in my mind, that how much similar they both were… the hardware’s with their circuits and leaves with their veins. I always found them resembling in terms of shape, look, color and function, but totally contrasting at the same time as natural and manmade elements….It was then, looking at that piece of hardware that I thought of working on this concept.

这幅画的创意来自于4-5个月之前，当时我正盯着文凭Pc里的一个坏掉的硬件看，我的脑子里一直有一个想法，电脑硬件上的电路，与叶子上的纹理，是多么的相似啊……，我总是发现他们在形状，外观，颜色和功能上的相像，但同时又因为一个是天然的，另一个是人造的而充满对比……，于是，看着那块电脑硬件，我决定以这个概念来创作。

I was pretty clear about the thought behind it, but somehow I was not getting it correct on the canvas. I spent 6-10 days working on this image but that could not satisfy me. Finally I left the painting. But I was always having this concept rendering back in my mind
我对于背后隐藏的概念非常明了，但我却不能在画布上正确表现它，我花了6-10天在这幅画上，但总是不满意，最终我暂缓了绘制，但我始终在头脑里回味着这个概念。

After few months, it was now, that I again sat with the same thought and made rough color sketches which clicked to me. I got the clear picture that I was looking for all this time. After spending enough time understanding the elements and composition I started gathering raw material.
几个月之后，也就是现在，我又一次开始同样的尝试，在画了几副彩色草稿之后，我被启发了，我得到了这段时间一直在找的那幅画面，在花了足够时间理解了元素与构图之后，我开始搜集各种元素。

I browsed for the references like computer garbage, plugs, pins, keyboards, leaves, plants, forest, creepers and everything that I found useful. After collecting 30-40 reference images, I sorted out things that were suitable for my concept. My idea was; mostly to use readymade stuff like keyboard, cables, plants and leaves. I was not willing to spend time on painting them. But as soon as I started putting them in, somehow it was not fitting to my idea. I want every single element to be placed as my thoughts and that was not possible with readymade stuff.
我浏览网络寻找参考图片，比如计算机垃圾，插头，插脚，键盘，叶子，植物，森林，爬藤以及任何我发现有用的东西，在搜集了30-40张参考图片之后，我拍列出适合我概念的东西，我的想法是：尽量使用已有的东西，类似于键盘，线缆，植物和叶子，我不想花时间来绘制它们，但一旦我把它们加入画面，某些东西看起来又不适合我的想法，我希望每一个元素都能恰如其位地摆放位，但对于现成的素材来说。这几乎是不可能的。

Then I painted the keyboard in a way that I can place it and take it further. Then I studied the flow of circuits with one scrap hardware that I found road side a day before. And then I designed basic high resolution circuitry keeping a leaf as reference to follow shape and flow of veins. Here my most laborious part was over. Now I had to go more creative with placement, lighting and rendering.
于是我绘制了键盘，使它能被我放到画面里，并进一步使用，我还从一天前从路边捡到的一块废硬件上研究电路纹理，然后我以叶片作为参考，设计了叶子及叶脉形状的高分辨率纹理图案，到此我最麻烦的工作告一段落，现在我需要更多地处理位置，灯光和渲染等要素。

Then I started painting things more close to the final output. First of all I transformed high resolution circuitry design to different sizes and shapes of different leaves and used with overlay layer option then retouched individually after merging down with leaves. Then I worked on, depth of field and placed supporting elements like monitor, creepers with plugs and pins connecting them. By this time my thought was very clear. I wanted nothing to be standing out, apart from a small plant. But at the same time I wanted all other elements to work as supporting actors. This took me really long time; finding right place and focus for every single object. For example I must have moved the monitor 20 times before placing it were it is in the final composition. I spent good time working on the stem for photorealism and getting the perfect SSS for it.
于是我开始更接近与最终画面的元素，首先我把高分辨率电路纹理针对不同的叶子转化为不同的大小和形状，新建一个覆盖层，然后把它们与每一片叶子独立地合成在一起。然后我处理景深效果，添加一些支持元素，例如显示器，带插头的爬藤，他们之间还连着插脚。至此我的思路都很清晰，我希望没有东西是凸显的，分离于一株植物的，但同时我又希望所有的元素都想是辅助演员一样起作用。这真的花了我很长时间来平衡。找到正确的地方，可以聚焦于每一个物体，比如，在决定显示器在构图里的最终位置之前，我至少移动了它20次，我也花了好些时间在这些超现实主义的茎杆上，给他们添加完美的SSS（次表面散射）效果。

By this time I was pretty much fine with BG, color, light and composition, then I moved to my main actor, the fresh plant. I went in to maximum details that I was looking for, so I dressed up the surroundings accordingly. At the same time I was getting an idea of a fallen dry leaf. I took the existing leaf and tried to make it work and I was almost done with image. It was 8’o clock in the morning and I was working whole night on it. After tea I had another fresh look at it, meanwhile I asked few of friends to comment on it. As a result they like the piece but I got a confused reaction on dry leaf. That was it!

至此，我对背景，颜色，灯光及构图已是非常满意，然后我转而处理我的主要演员，一颗新芽。我使之达到我追求的最大程度的细节，因此我事先装扮好了周围的环境，同时我还想出一个枯萎的干叶子的注意，我使用已有的叶片素材，试着让它符合我的要求，图像几乎就要完成了，那时已经是早上8点，我在叶子处理上几乎花了整个通宵。喝完早茶之后，我又重新审视了一下画面，同时也问了几位好友的意见，他们喜欢新鲜的叶片，但是似乎对枯萎叶子概念都不看好，把我都搞糊涂了，问题就出在这里！

Without wasting much time I removed that leaf and gave it another try. Now I placed everything in the background and concentrated on the creeper, where I wanted to add some more leaves. Separating the cables\ creeper from the entire picture helped me a lot to think and focus. Now I worked on maple leaf and placed it around with little bit of tweaking to avoid stamping feel. Then I worked on the dry part to make it look close to natural look. Then I blurred it according to the placement. It is not only birth or growth, but ageing and death that makes nature so beautiful and touching as compared to manmade world.
没有浪费任何时间，我去掉了枯叶，来作另一种尝试，现在我把所有东西都放在背景里，聚焦于爬藤，在那里我想加更多的叶子，从整个画面中分来线缆/爬藤的过程给了我许多想法和新的焦点，现在我新画了一片枫叶，把它放在旁边，稍稍扭曲，来避免刻板的感觉，然后我工作于干枯的部分，让它看起来接近自然外观，然后我依照位置给它一些模糊的效果，它不是正在出生或成长，而是老年及死亡，这使得自然如此美丽，并给人造世界一种对比。
I was very happy to add this last thought to my painting, without which this piece would have been incomplete…….

我非常高兴在我的画面里添加了这最后一种想法，没有它整个作品是不完整的。
