Wei Dianlin introduced the starting point of his works to the visitors, and he said that "the heart is created and the law is taught by nature" is the core concept of Chinese painting art, which also reflects the philosophical thinking of Chinese culture advocating "the unity of nature and man" and attaching importance to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. He hopes that through these paintings, the concept of harmonious symbiosis between mountains and rivers can be conveyed to more European audiences, and the artistic exchange and understanding between the East and the West can be enhanced.
This exhibition is a cross-regional cultural exchange and sharing, which is not only a wonderful presentation of Chinese landscape painting, but also allows more people to feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture, and builds a bridge for artistic and cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Italy.
It is reported that this exhibition is the fourth European exhibition of Wei Dianlin's solo works after the three-stop tour of Madrid, Spain, Prague, Czech Republic and Vienna, Austria. The series of exhibitions began in November last year from the School of Art and Design of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, and lasted for half a year, and exhibited more than 100 of his personal Chinese paintings to more than 1,000 university students, government officials and public art lovers in Europe. At the same time, he also held more than ten lectures and experience courses on Chinese painting. It is expected that in the next few months, the series of exhibitions will be exhibited in Dresden, Germany, Warsaw, Poland and other European places.
Wei Dianlin studied under Professor Sun Yongyi, a disciple of Mr. Qigong, and Professor Jiang Kaifa of the China Academy of Art, and has been committed to actively spreading the art of Chinese painting. During his study visit to Europe, he was invited to participate in the global Lanting Yaji cultural experience activities, the first Spring Festival Gala of the Spanish Federation of Students, the Spanish Chinese Temple Fair and other on-site creative performances, and held special lectures at the Chinese Cultural Center in Madrid.
