The creative concept behind his landscape painting is to hold together the classical philosophy of the ancient Chinese scholars'use of ink. He pursues the philosophy inspired by Du Fu's poetry. Empathy integrated the invisible spiritual realm into the visible landscape, turned the real life's hustles and bustles into a world of quietness and serenity. In addition, he was inspired and influenced by Romantic English artist William Turner and Impressionist French artist Claude Monet. He uses Eastern and Western art materials and techniques to create his own rich colourful paintings imbued with a sense of Chinese fusion. His landscapes depict a fairy tale - like Chinese utopia based on natural scenes from his recalled memory. The other iconic symbol found in Simon's work is the waterfall. He feels that unlike trees and buildings which grow vertically upwards, water quietly flows downwards to nourish life on earth. As we lived in a rapid city, it is good for one to slow down and focus on a moment of quietness.

山水意境一向是古代文人生命理念的維繫,是人性的寫照,是心靈寄託的家園。《移情》系列的作品是要將社會世俗的煩囂轉移到靜謐的心靈,通過「移情作用」,把無形的精神境界以筆墨表現在有形的山水之中,追求詩人杜甫的「水流心不競,雲在意倶遲」這樣的人生哲理。我們活在急速的城市,也許需要緩下來,寄情於一刻的恬靜。畫中的風景有如人間仙境,暮色蒼茫,煙雪淒迷,然而又並非是一個渺無人煙、不存在的世外桃源,而是一個世人可以踏足的美景,因此在作品的一角,偶爾仔細觀察則會看到小屋、涼亭,若隱若現,迷蒙之間,恍如你已深入其中,喧囂的生活中還能有一處僻靜之處容你休憩。​​

The work of “Rocks Emerge when Spring Subsides” is one of this series “Empathy” by Simon Yung. 

「水落石出」為「香港藝術館」館藏《移情》系列中的另一幅水墨畫,該畫作為香港本地水墨畫家 Simon Yung 容子敏先生所作,其受浪漫主義畫家 William Turner 及印象派 Monet 影響,作品中糅合了中西的技法:既有豐富鮮明的色彩,又不失傳統水墨畫淡然物外的氣魄。
