About the Artist, Qingzhu Lin
As an artist exploring my creative path, I constantly seek to pursue and express beauty in my work. Throughout history, artists have given us various interpretations of beauty, and the art-loving public has responded with appreciation. The Great Masters of the European Renaissance captivate and inspire me to make the same connection through my own figurative paintings and landscapes that reflect the natural world.
My lifelong interest in art began with memories of the stamps I collected long ago that fascinated me with their distinct patterns and images. A memorable oil painting that hung on the wall at home when I was a child is still vivid in my mind.
During my career, I traveled internationally, always choosing to visit museums, art exhibitions and galleries. The pleasure of visiting a museum exhibition is no less of a joy to me than listening to a beautiful concert.
After I retired, I set out on my own journey to develop my artistic talent, to pursue and express the beauty that I find in our awe-inspiring world. I invite you to view my portfolio and consider collecting works that reflect your own appreciation of beauty.
Review by art curator Roberta Desolati
“Beauty perishes in life, but it is immortal in art.” – Leonardo Da Vinci
For Qingzhu Lin “a good work of art must be a precise interpretation of beauty that meets the wishes of the public.” The works on display highlight the artist’s idea of art, closely linked to the ideal of beauty. In the artist’s works we can see a combination of styles and cultures closely connected to the artist’s Chinese origins and the naturalism, the attention to the human figure and the aesthetic canons of the Renaissance. These portraits can be considered a reference to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, in particular the great attention that the Tuscan artist devoted to the study and representation of the female figure, from the importance given to the light to the attention dedicated to representing the spirit of the protagonists. Attention to the spirit of the subjects, and not only to the form, is at the same time a milestone of Chinese pictorial art. Other characteristics of Chinese painting – culture of origin of Qingzhu Lin – that we can recognize are: the choice of subjects, mainly characters and landscapes; a free representative style of the impressionist type but at the same time precise, meticulous and attentive to details; and the use of ink, in this case oil and watercolor paint, calibrated in a distinctive way to give relief or body to the lines.
