雪景藝術家 Simon Beck 以阿爾卑斯山作為畫布
初降的空白雪景是藝術家Simon Beck的靈感來源，他用一雙雪鞋，
在雪地上「走」出錯綜複雜的圖案創作

All artists are unique, in terms of creativity, and Simon Beck is no exception.
所有的藝術家都有自己獨特的創作方式，Simon Beck也不例外。
His canvas is as vast as the Alps because it is the Alps, and his primary tools are a vivid imagination, a compass, and a pair of snowshoes.
他的畫布就像阿爾卑斯山那麼大，因為它就是阿爾卑斯山本身；他的主要創作工具是，生動的想像力、指南針，和一雙雪鞋。
The typical result, as viewers of his snow drawings might attest, is beautifully stark and precise.
而他的作品，凡是見到的人大概都會被它的美麗和精準度震攝。
Beck, who this week released a book titled “Simon Beck: Snow Art,” has been honing this unusual craft for about 10 years. Working mostly at night with a headlamp, he generally produces about 30 snow drawings a year.
Beck本週出了新書，書名是「Simon Beck：雪景藝術」，十年來他一直持續砥礪精進這份特別的技藝。他大多數在夜晚進行工作，以頭燈照明，平均一年完成30幅雪景繪畫。
Each masterpiece takes 10 to 12 hours to complete.
每一幅精緻的作品，所花的製作時間約10到12小時。
Beck, 56, this week told The Guardian that he’s inspired by any fresh blanket of snow.
56歲的Beck本週接受《衛報》訪問時表示，任何一片初降的空白雪景都能觸發他的靈感。
“When you have a blank piece of paper, you draw on it,” he said. “So drawing on a blank snowfall seemed like a natural thing to do.”
「當你看到一張空白紙時，你就會想在上面作畫。」他說：「所以在一片空白的雪地上作畫就像是自然而然的事。」
His canvas is wiped clean, obviously, by the next big storm.
而他的創作畫布，當然，會在下一場暴風雪過後被大自然淨空，回歸空白。
The artist once stated on Facebook, “Most of the skiers think I am a bit mad, and it’s a waste of good skiing time. I agree, hence the preference for working at night. But I hope to spread the message [that] the mountains and snow are beautiful and worth preserving.”
這名藝術家曾在他的臉書發文發示：「大多滑雪玩家覺得我有點瘋狂，而且這樣做會浪費大好的滑雪時間。我認同他們，所以之後我選擇在晚上進行創作。我希望將這樣的消息傳播出去：山很美，雪景很美，值得我們出力保存它。」

這段話很久以前看到，為什麼這個人要這樣一直在雪地上走下去、走下去、走下去，這是他的發言全文。
"I hope to spread the message [that] the mountains and snow are beautiful and worth preserving, and there are better things in life than spending so much time doing things you don't want to so that you can spend money you haven't got (yet) to buy things you don't need to impress people you don't like."
「我希望將這樣的消息傳播出去：山很美，雪景很美，值得我們出力保存它。
比起將大把時間在做你不想做的事情
把你還沒領到的薪水花在你不真正需要的事物上，
因此去取悅你不喜歡的人。
生命中，還有更重要的事情。」
