艺术的源头本在宗教——那是人类最初向天所作的视觉祈祷。经历漫长的形态演化之后，艺术远离了祭坛，投向人自身。形式愈繁，精神愈薄。朵夫的作品，正是对此漂移的回返：他让抽象重获神性，让几何成为灵魂的经文。

​Art was born from religion. The earliest image was not expression, but invocation. Across millennia, as art drifted from the altar to the marketplace, its forms grew complex while its spirit thinned. In Dove’s practice, art returns to its origin—not through imitation of the sacred, but through the recovery of its metaphysical ground. His abstraction reclaims the theological dimension of painting: it is not the construction of image, but the witnessing of existence.
