自古以來，女性題材一直是藝術創作的熱門話題。黃海燕的創作也因襲了這一古老的傳
　　統。在他的作品中，我們能夠領略到當代都市女性的風采，感悟到她們的情緒與生活狀態——
　　時尚的、孤傲的、落寞的、含蓄的、典雅的、青春的……她們都一一定格在畫家的畫面中。
　　黃海燕的繪畫注重形式的洗練，他不刻意去強調某一個細節，用筆自然、放松，在其部分
　　繪畫中甚至帶有“潑墨”的意趣；在表現技法上，他力求化繁為簡，將表達形式加以簡化，試
　　圖以平涂的藝術手法達到對人物心靈的透視，能讓觀眾直截地體悟到他所要展示給人們的——
　　處于社會轉型期的中國都市女性所特有的情緒與心態。
　　The female has been a subject matter of artistic creation for ages. Mr. Huang Haiyan's creative works follows this old tradition. It is easy to detect in his works the features of today's urban women and the state of their thinking and living eternally displayed in the paintings, either fashionable or proud, or lonely, or reserved, or graceful, or youthful....
　　Simplicity of form is at the heart of Huang Haiyan's approach. He makes efforts not to give too much prominence to details, but tries to simplify his expression with a natural and relaxing touch, and even a touch of splashed ink in some of his paintings, to reveal the soul of the figures and to allow the viewers to directly understand what he wants to illustrate -- the mood and mentality of Chinese urban women in this transforming society.
