Chinese painter forges inimitable style after decades abroad

Wang returned to China in 2010. Her paintings, inspired by the techniques and themes of different cultures and civilizations, have gradually won more attention in her home country. "Her experience of studying in Japan infuses her works with the charm of Chinese painting and the exquisite characteristics of Japanese painting. Her skills in using colors to depict flowers make her works brilliant and dynamic, giving viewers a strong feeling of vitality," said Chen Yuhua, deputy manager at the People's Fine Arts Publishing House.

Nowadays, Wang still creates plein-air paintings in her spare time. And her artistic styles are always developing. "Returning to my hometown makes me feel that traditional Chinese painting is the most beautiful style, so I've started using more ink-wash lines in my works. Painting is like my diary. I like nature, especially when the flowers bloom in spring. Seeing fine scenes like the flowers and the red walls in Beijing makes me want to paint more. Painting is my lifelong career and I need to keep learning and innovating," she said.
