花朵以及众多的植物香料作为欧阳文东创作的重要媒介，其结果有一种既熟悉又陌生的神秘气息。他在观察自然和审视自我之间的过程中将这一显明的东方自然观审美带进了他作品创作的叙事之中，东方自然观印在他的生命里，早年虽然学习学院雕塑，又连续生活在欧洲十余年，在二元对立核心环境里，更加激发了他的东方自然观。在稍纵即逝的日常中把握物的灵性与美。
Flowers and a variety of plant fragrances serve as significant mediums in Ouyang Wendong's creations, resulting in a mysterious aura that is both familiar and strange. In the process of observing nature and reflecting on himself, he incorporates this distinct Eastern perspective on nature into the narrative of his artistic work. This perspective is imprinted on his life; although he studied sculptur in an academic setting and lived in Europe for over a decade, the dualistic environment further stimulated his Eastern view of nature. He captures the spirituality and beauty of objects in the fleeting moments of everyday life.
东方人说“一期一会”，及那种不可复制的人与人，人与物的相遇。这也是他日常弹琴时心与弦，调香时人与气味在空间里的那种感受。
Eastern philosophy speaks of "ichigo ichie," the idea of unique, irreplaceable encounters between people and between people and objects. This resonates with his experience while playing the Guqin, where he feels a connection between his heart and the music, and while composing scents, where he senses the interaction between people and fragrances in space.
这组以“花鼼”命名的装置作品，欧阳文东自述就是源于他在处理来自世界各地不同产区的玫瑰时，当花刺时不时扎入他的手指时的回应。为此他还有一段文字的记述: “花的刺，我怕碰到它，钻心的瘙痒，但还是常常碰到它。花的刺，它也怕碰到我，害怕宿命的伤害，但还是常常碰到我。我们同样的敏感，又同样的宿命。” 这就是物我两忘，物我不二的思想吧。
The installation work named "Flower Thorn" originates from his encounters while handling roses from various regions around the world. He describes the experience of being pricked by thorns, responding to them as follows: "I fear the thorns of the flower, the piercing itch, yet I often encounter them. The thorns fear encountering me, apprehensive of fateful harm, yet they still often meet me. We are equally sensitive, and equally fated." This reflects the idea of forgetting the self and the object, and the unity of the two.
道家思想对他的影响无疑是深入的。“道法自然”、“无为”，不是人法自然而无所为，恰恰说明自然本体论中人和物之间有着共生而极为敏感作用状态。这点在欧阳文东和自然相处中显现出来，这可能是他“法自然”最为自洽表述。
The influence of Taoist philosophy on him is profound. Concepts such as "Dao follows nature" and "wu wei" (non-action) do not imply that humans act against nature without intention; rather, they highlight the symbiotic and sensitive relationship between humans and objects within the ontology of nature. This is evident in Ouyang Wendong's interactions with nature, possibly representing his most coherent expression of "following nature."
