About The Artwork

A few years ago, I saw a Lotus painting from a famous Chinese artist - Daqian Zhang. I was impressed by the elegant lotus flower in the painting. From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity and non-attachment. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. Lotus flower is a fairy in the water. She is simple and elegant. She looks pretty and dazzling within the clear water and green leafs. Symbols of authenticity Artist annotation, legal name signature stamp, and artistic name stamp, and free seal stamp The annotation contains Chinese Lunar year and artist real name in writing - Each painting is customized. The annotation will be changed based on the painting completion date. Condition: What to expect an Original Chinese Painting The painting is not mounted or framed . The painting is in excellent condition but I need to let you know below fact to avoid any misunderstanding: The painting will be folded and securely sealed in water proofed protection. Because of the thinness of Shuan Paper, when you open the package, you will see some folds and hairline creases. Once the painting is mounted properly, the fold lines will be gone completely.

I am a professional Chinese gongbi painter specializing in Gongbi flower and birds painting, especially in painting peony and lotus flower. This style of art was accomplished in secret in royal palaces and private homes back to ancient China. Only the wealthy could afford such artists. I also specialize in archaizing antique/ancient Chinese gongbi painting. I am a member with a few biggest professional artist organizations in China (1) Signed-up artist with CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China (2) Membership in Chinese Painter Calligrapher Association (3) Membership in Ningbo Federation of Literary and Art Circles, subsidiary of China Artists Association Below are some awards and achievement I received: (1) Outstanding award - from 2013 Group exhibition hosted by CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China, and China Eastern Museum (2) Outstanding award - from 2012 - Group exhibition hosted by CCTV China Influence Power, Culture China, and China Eastern Museum (3) Bronze award - from 2012 Top Traditional Chinese Painting Fall Exhibition and Auction Outstanding award - from 2011 - Group Exhibition Hosted by Artxun (4) Artwork was kept by China Eastern Museum as museum collection (5) Ranked as top 6 artist in Zhejiang Province (equivalent to a State in USA) by Artsun History of Gongbi Painting The gongbi style had its beginnings approximately 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) when Han's political stability and its prosperity favored the advancement of the arts. These paintings peaked out between the Tang and Song Dynasties (7th to 13th centuries) when these refined paintings were endorsed and collected by the royal families of China. The gongbi artists to perfect this style must totally commit themselves to these techniques. Only the wealthy could afford such artists. This style of art was accomplished in secret in royal palaces and private homes. Peony The peony is among the longest-used flowers in Eastern culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where the peony is called 牡丹 (mǔdān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fùguìhuā) "flower of riches and honor" or 花王 (huawang) "king of the flowers", and is used symbolically in Chinese art. In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower.
