藝術家蔡譯緯高中時期比較常接觸的是水彩與炭筆素描的靜物寫生，因此對於西方繪畫系統的媒材較為熟悉，上大學後很自然地就選擇以油畫為發展方向。
另外，油彩具有緩慢乾化的特性，可以提供他更為充裕的作畫時間，適合寫實風格的繪製與操作。除了繪畫，有一部分的創作是以文字為媒介，因為有些概念需要運用到符碼，會比圖像來得精準而有趣。
藝術家藉由創作的過程，可以將內心的情感、想法、體悟具象化，創作比較像是一段自我觀照、探索尋找以及成長的歷程。
蔡譯緯認為，創作行為本身是很私密的，把顏料遞移到畫布就是一種不斷述說與揭示的過程。
幽默，是蔡譯緯創作很重要的核心之一，他認為或許人生存在著許多不完美，而我們最終也不會成為自己心中的那個想像，但無論如何，還是試著以幽默的方式去看待生命中的難題。
