Wanhua is a classic Chinese painting style with a history spanning thousands of years. It originated as an art of delicate expression through the use of a brush and ink and can often involve meticulous representations on paper or silk. Artists are often inspired by nature, skilfully drawing landscapes, flowers and birds.
An integral component of wanhua is recording nature on paper. Artists attempt to demonstrate not only what their subject looks like but also what spirit it possesses. By concentrating on single details, and applying subtle brushstrokes, they are able to bring their subjects to life, realistically and beautifully.
Painting a wanhua isn’t all about expertise, beyond creating a pretty design it also helps individuals be mindful. Thinking through each brush stroke, thinking through the layout of the painting, it’s like meditation for your mind. Some artists are attached to their creativity and they get lost in the act of painting.
Numerous distinctive types of Chinese painting have been developed, each with its own individual direction and emphasis. Through the creation of works via wanhua, we honor this lineage, and accord due respect to the traditions of our forefathers. The knowledge and knowhow of sustained over time will carry on this art for many years.
