荷花豐富了大地景致，也提供讓世界生生不息的生命養分，燦爛了人類的文明，更提升人類心靈追求的層次。詩人、藝術家們藉著荷花之美，創作詩文、藝術作品，富饒了人類的美學文化。畫與詩都是人們情感與思想的一種意象表達藝術，表現的形式雖然不同，但詩情畫意兩者之間，有著相互流通的審美特質。因此，本論文將以荷花詩詞給予的心靈感悟意象，作為繪畫創作的發想，將文學和繪畫藝術做一結合來完成此一繪畫藝術創作論文。
本創作論述架構首先針對研究的動機與目的、研究的範圍與方法作一說明，再將荷花的文化美學內涵作一介紹，在第三章探討的是荷花在藝術中的表現，第四章則是筆者詩意荷花「芙渠意象」的繪畫創作理念及創作作品解析，第五章結論則為創作研究心得與對未來延伸創作的自我期許與展望。
