Liu Xiwen, a student at the No. 3 Primary School in Xinyuan County, Xinjiang, spoke on behalf of the winners. In her work "Tears of Mother Earth", the beautiful and rich Mother Earth is like a calm, gentle fairy, she closes her eyes and sadly sheds tears from clear to dirty. Liu Xiwen uses colorful trees to express the dense and colorful hair of Mother Earth, while showing the relationship between water and nature and human beings through the change of tear color from blue to black.
"I want to use this painting to tell you that water is the source of all things, and without pure water, there would be no living things, let alone human beings." I also want to tell everyone to be grateful for the gifts of nature, start from the small things around us, and cherish and protect water resources even more. Liu Xiwen said.
Li Zijian, a famous painter and director of The Li Zijian Art Museum, praised this is a precious "children's art exchange event", with nearly 300 award-winning works selected from thousands of award-winning works in the five competitions. This is a hand-drawn painting of the hearts of children from 20 countries around the world, different regions, different races and different cultures with Chinese children as the main body.
Li Zijian pointed out that the children, with their own innocent and childlike free expressions and wild romantic ideas, jointly interpreted a theme of common concern of human beings in a "global village" - "protecting the earth and cherishing the homeland". This is not only a successful art education, but also a baptism of the soul and the sublimation of thoughts. For the whole society, it also has extraordinary warning and educational significance.
The exhibition will be on view until July 31, and interested visitors can visit the Li Zijian Art Museum.
