In the paintings of flowers and birds, there are not a few powerful painters with personal styles, their styles are simple and beautiful, traditional and easy-going. I know a flower and bird painter, in his flower and bird works, see flowers but no birds, see things do not see people, the style is simple and changeable. Not only have he made achievements in flowers and birds, but also dabbled in many strains such as figure painting, Buddhist painting, animal painting, calligraphy painting and so on.
Today I will not talk about anything else, only about his flowers and birds, although I don't see the birds, but I have a big artistic conception, and I have the principle of the ultimate state of art. Combine art with philosophy, use Buddhist and Taoist thought to dialectic, and tell you what is the charm of art. You don't need to elaborate on him to know who he is, yes, he is the young powerful Buddhist painter Li Zimo teacher I want to talk about today. Most of his works show some Buddha's meaning, which may be related to his artistic expression habits, but there is a deep meaning in the painting, and the desire to discern has forgotten words.
