"Mountain Stone Spirit" by Mingwenxi Zhang, Age 12, China
When I created this painting, I used the most traditional Chinese ink-and-ink method on silk, inheriting the green landscape of the Song Dynasty in China. I wanted to create a mysterious oriental beauty. Ridges, reefs and creatures seem to be one and the same, I want to express that everything has a spirituality. Cherish the harmonious ecology that coexists with living beings!
