Chinese painting does not seek photorealistic representation but the creation of artistic conception \u2014 “learning from nature, finding the source within the heart”. It is a dialogue with the viewer’s soul, inviting you to step into the painting and wander within the spiritual landscape crafted by the artist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
