🎨 Hey there! Have you ever heard of Liu Wanming? He’s an amazing Chinese artist who paints beautiful pictures of flowers, birds, and wildlife! 🐦🌸🦋
In March 2025, Professor Martin Joseph Powers from the University of Michigan visited the China National Academy of Painting. While he was there, he explored Liu Wanming’s studio and was blown away by a painting called ‘The Charm of Ink Painting Album’. 🖌️📖
Professor Powers said, “Liu Wanming combines the best of the Chinese tradition and the European realist and naturalist traditions. It’s truly a fusion of East and West!” 🌏🤝🌍
Liu Wanming believes in “Read, then paint,” which means he loves to study and learn before creating his art. His style mixes the detailed precision of the Song Dynasty with the free-flowing spirit of the Yuan Dynasty. Cool, right? 📚🎨
Whether he’s making huge murals or tiny sketches, Liu’s work shows a wonderful harmony between people and nature. It’s like his paintings bring us closer to the beauty of the world around us! 🌿😊
