鄭木彰的創作題材以新加坡和東南亞大自然裡的花卉、小動物及景觀為主， 例如棕櫚、向日葵、天堂鳥、荷塘及石頭。他以創新的技巧、媒介及颜色，重新詮釋這些題材，呈現出獨特的形式和構圖 。他用大膽亮麗的顏色和簡約形式塑造荷花，以粗大簡樸的黑色線條直率地表現荷花枝幹，也運用墨和色粉，刻畫出層次豐富、絢麗多彩的石頭。木彰擅於透過對大自然的感受和觀察，借由畫筆抒發自己的情感與創作理念。

Tay Bak Chiang paints subjects found in the nature of Singapore and Southeast Asia, such as heliconias, lotus ponds and rocks. He seeks to reinterpret them inventively in terms of form, composition, technique, material and colour. Lotus flowers, for example, are depicted as minimalist forms in bold hues; lotus stalks as thick, unembellished black strokes; and stones as textured shapes and sculptural blocks in intense colours made by combining pigments and traditional Chinese ink. Through these subjects, he expresses his sentiments and philosophies.
