Exhibition of Chinese paintings and calligraphy held at Russian Cultural Center in Beijing

Fans of Chinese painting gathered at the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing to experience the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year - the Spring Festival (Chunjie).

The event was attended by artists and calligraphers who presented more than 50 works in various genres, including calligraphy, landscape painting, and mountain and water compositions. All the works were dedicated to the theme of Russian-Chinese friendship.

Tatiana Urzhumtseva, the head of the Russian Cultural Center, welcomed the audience and emphasized the significance of the exhibition as a unique opportunity to appreciate the expressive spirit of Chinese traditional art. She also presented commemorative diplomas to the artists for their contributions.

Then, the exhibition space filled with the scent of ink as a calligraphy master class began on stage. Under the strokes of Chinese artists' brushes, laconic New Year's wishes for good luck, joy, and happiness were created one after another.
