陳持平白袍下的感性靈魂陳持平,行醫將近四十個年頭,是台灣知名的婦產科醫師,名列百大名醫之一,也是產前遺傳診斷的巨擘。一身白袍,一臉自信的笑容,給人的第一印象,就是他那固執追求完美的個性,無論在臨床上、教學上,都一絲不苟、認真以對。在醫界已然站穩地位的陳持平醫師,在將近耳順之年,突然拾起他此生從未接觸過的───畫筆,在二〇一三年的聖誕節前夕,開始每天一畫的「創作淬鍊之旅」。而從他拾起畫筆的那天開始,從無間斷,無論醫師工作有多忙碌、繁重,他仍利用閒暇時間,持續而堅持地,用畫筆豐富身心靈。素人畫家陳持平醫師所選擇的畫具,不是水墨,不是油彩,而是最原始、最基本的蠟筆。「蠟筆,大概是孩子人生中第一個接觸的畫具,不管是畫在紙上,還是畫在牆上,蠟筆都成為孩子『傳達豐富靈感及想像力』的媒介,而陪伴孩子成長的蠟筆,也是無毒環保的畫具,適合人人使用。」陳持平從不輕視這「好像沒什麼難度」的畫具,相反的,他很享受並善用這信手捻來、隨時可畫的趣味。他能在閱讀書報雜誌、攝影及旅遊叢書時擷取靈感,也可以在街頭巷尾看見某個場景,立刻在心裡勾勒出初稿;也可以將心中對宗教、生命的熱愛,活靈活現地躍於紙上……一盒蠟筆,一張隨手取得的A4圖畫紙,就開始了陳持平的「快意人生」。繪畫帶給陳持平的不只是創作的成就感、釋放壓力的愉悅感,更拉近了親子關係,將想與孩子分享的心情,幻化為張張色彩鮮明、構圖生動的作品。陳持平感性地說,兩個優秀的女兒繼承父母衣缽,讓他覺得驕傲滿足,但日以繼夜的醫師工作,使他和孩子聚少離多,沒能陪孩子一起成長,始終是心裡的遺憾。陳持平拿出女兒去年送給他的聖誕驚喜----將他的畫彙編成冊。「我想女兒們明白,爸爸留給孩子最珍貴的資產,不是財富權勢,而是這一張張獨一無二、絕無僅有的畫作,這等於是爸爸的靈魂、爸爸的生命軌跡,也是我最想傳達給孩子的真心。」如今因為畫,陳持平和孩子們有了溝通話題;因為畫,他與家人朋友有了交流管道;因為畫,他結交了不同領域的朋友……簡單的蠟筆,卻能帶給陳持平深刻綿長的感動,甚至改變了生活。陳持平感性地說,繪畫是促進心靈健康的仙丹妙藥,自己雖是素人畫家,但他希望以自己為例,鼓勵大家用畫作紓解壓力、用畫作關懷社會、用畫作觀察世界……對陳持平醫師而言,畫,是藝術,更是人生的縮影。他將持續創作,用這單純而美好的童稚之心,領略世界的美。SketchoftheArtistTheArtisticSoulinaWhiteCoatChih-PingChen,adistinguishedTaiwaneseobstetrician-gynecologistwhohaspracticedmedicinefornearlyfourdecades,isnotonlyselectedasoneofthe100bestdoctorsinTaiwan,butalsorecognizedasthemasterofprenatalgeneticdiagnosis.Wearingawhitecoatandaconfidentsmile,Chenalwaysgivesafirstimpressionofearnestnessandmeticulousnessinpursuingperfectionbothinclinicalandteachingpractice.Despitehisprestigeinthemedicalworldandhisageofnearly60,Chenstartedahobbythathehadnevertriedbefore—painting.OntheChristmasEveof2013,heembarkedonanadventureofcreativityandartistry,andhassincedrawnpictureseverysingledayinhisleisuretime,despitehisdemandingandbusyhospitaljob.Asanamateurpainter,Chendidnotchoosepopularmaterialssuchasinkoroilpaint,butsomethingmoreprimitiveandbasic—crayons.“Crayonsareprobablythefirstpaintingtooleverylittlekidstartswith.Whethertheyareusedonpaperoronawall,crayonshavebecomeamediumthroughwhichkidsshowtheircreativityandingenuity,aswellasagreatcompanionduringkids’childhood.Theyarealsoanon-toxicandeco-friendlypaintingtoolforeveryone,”saidChen.Chenhasnevertakenlightlythisseeminglyeasytool,buttrulyenjoyedandfullyutilizedhiscrayonsasanaccesstospontaneousandserendipitousfunofpainting.Hewouldgetideaswhilereadingnewspapers,magazinesorbooksrelatedtophotographyandtourism.Hewouldsketchanyinterestingsceneinanygivencornerinthecity.Hewouldalsodemonstratehisreligiousbeliefandhisloveforlifeonpaper.WithaboxofcrayonsandasheetofA4-sizedrawingpaper,Chengetsasmuchfunashecan,atanymoment.CrayonpaintinghasnotonlygivenChenasenseofachievementandpleasurethatrelievehisdailystress,buthasalsobroughthimandhisdaughterscloser,asheshareshisthoughtsandfeelingsthroughoneafteranothercolorfulandvividpictures.Chenisproudofhistwodaughters,whoarealsomedicaldoctors,buttherehavealwaysbeensomeregretthathehasnotbeenabletoaccompanythemthroughoutmuchoftheirchildhood,duetohisbusyjob.Duringtheinterview,ChentookouttheChristmassurprisehistwodaughtersgavehim—acompiledalbumofhiscrayonworks.“Ithinktheyrealizedthatthebesttreasuretheirfathercouldleavethemisnotwealthnorpower,butthesepaintingsthatareuniquelydrawnbyhim.Theseworkshavereflectedmyinnerself,recordedmylife,andrepresentedmyloveformychildren,”saidChen.Thankstothesepaintings,Chenhasalotmoretotalkaboutwithhisdaughters,andhiscommunicationwithhisfamilyandfriendsbecamemorefrequent,andheevenmadefriendswithpeopleinvariousfieldsotherthanmedicine.Some
