“All the paintings presented are not just an image of nature, but an expression of deep thoughts, encrypted messages,” says the exhibition organizer, artist Julia Tolmacheva. “Often paintings are presented for holidays and memorable dates as original talismans, charms and good wishes.”

“For me, Chinese painting is a source of inner peace and concentration, an opportunity to plunge into another reality for several hours a day and emerge from it with new ideas and solutions,” recognizes the artist Olga Shcherbakova. “I really want this state of mental balance and harmony, which appears when the Chinese brush touches the paper, be transmitted to the viewer.”

“As you know, in the painting of China is hidden and deep philosophical meaning, and poetic interpretation of phenomena, and national ethical symbolism. Each stroke, the direction of the branches, the number of petals and stamens is not just like that, but the artist’s story about the creation of the world and about the place of man in it. On a thick old branch, buds, buds are also a combination of Yin and Yang, ”explains artist Svetlana Lupanova.

“A peony in Chinese culture is not only a flower, it is a symbol of power, pomegranate is not only a fruit, but also a symbol of family, fertility and fertility, as well as rebirth and immortality, kingfisher is not just a bird, but a symbol of perseverance, beloved in lotus is not a flower, but the purity of thoughts, ”deciphers the symbolism of Chinese painting, artist Oksana Sharova.

Here you can not only buy paintings, but also learn how to make them yourself. The program includes master classes in painting from authors of works whose works are presented at the New Year’s art fair.

“At the master classes, you can try to independently create drawings in the styles of Gunbi and Gohua, to learn the secrets of calligraphy, painting decorative products from natural materials with oriental ornaments,” says the artist Svetlana Surkova.
