The latest exhibition at the China National Academy of Painting (CNAP), unveiled on July 21, showcased a range of Chinese ink paintings featuring the beauty of Qinghai province.

One of the artworks features a small house and group of people staying in high mountains covered by snow. Another painting portrays a Tibetan woman holding a white hada with a solemn look.

CNAP President Yang Xiaoyang said the artists wanted to present some of the most natural wonders of the world, including great mountains and lakes, and the relations between ethnic people and nature in the province through their works.

Yang addressed the opening ceremony of the exhibit.

"It is a good thing to create new works based on enthusiasm. Yet, a piece of art would lose life and vitality if it were overdone by an artist," he said.

"As to traditional Chinese ink paintings, xuan paper can sometimes give a surprising effect to an artwork. Artists should try to make good use this unique feature while using the paper."

Xuan paper is a specially made soft paper used for Chinese painting and calligraphy.

The event belonged to a program of CNAP, titled "Artists of New China", which was designed to encourage artists in China to create more works, promoting art development through exhibitions and communications.

Painter Zhang Haihong, from Qinghai, said artists should keep the unique local style of Qinghai in their future works.

"We have confidence in our local culture and will show our faith in paintings," he said.
