The jade with a slight flaw is the most attractive one.
Even seduced by Artemis would be a mistake,
who can refuse it？
Does the shriveling of persimmons remind you of
the shortness of life?
The smoke of incense always causes homesickness.
The beautiful face of a girl is just like a red flower.
Where the bird flies to is where the Flora lives.
The bird in the birdcage is the same as the man in love.
The shortness of fireworks does not hinder
its permanent beauty.
Can the cat's eyes lead you to enter into a magic land？
Can we postpone the end of a dance？
What she whispered under the plantain was the poem for you.
What is full in my dream is your well-known form.
Does the story that the flower tells end with withering？
Whether the butterfly in his past life knew the flower's company in his afterlife？
Did the day want to stay when he said goodbye to the night？
Was the jade transformed from your tears that you
sent him as a gift？
Is the long night waiting for the company of the dream？
Is the rainbow the image you present to me with water？
Can the love be found in the painting
if the language cannot be spoken？
Who will possess the purest flowers？
Does the shadow know that she cannot live
without light the same as I can't live without you？
Will the wind shed tears when the fan breaks？
Is that what the wind tells you that love is what she looks like?
Is that you at the other end of the mirror？

The "Spring Dreams of Jinling" series showcases female figures enriched with the painter's inner dialogue, blending classical and modern elements to create a richly diverse representation of beauty, from noble dreamlike figures in classical Western gowns or Chinese attire to the ethereal grace of delicate beauties. Some paintings capture the elusive beauty in a smile, the tenderness of their gaze, or the sorrow and brightness in their eyes, all contributing to an elegant and intellectual aura. These depictions of unattainable goddesses linger in the artist's heart, embodying a yearning for beauty, their every movement supported by the graceful melody of a violin or cello, surrounded by romantic floral fragrances, presenting a beauty that is beyond physical reach, perhaps a reflection of the artist's deep-seated adoration.
Xing Jianjian's openness and rich foundation in Eastern cultural thought, combined with his relaxed nature, echo his belief that painting stems from love. Life, composed of a series of choices and paintings, is about embracing the moments of inspiration that come with ease and tranquility. Choosing to paint beautiful women as a way to pass time, Xing finds satisfaction in the continued functionality of his eyes and hands, considering himself fortunate to have both the time and mood for painting. His works, marked by a freedom of brushwork and rhythm, stand as a testament to his ability to capture moments of inspiration, making every day fulfilling and pleasant. Amidst the blurring definitions of art, Xing's clear passion for painting and the immutable elements of his life shine through.
Xing Jianjian's continuous exploration of his own style and the forms of pure artistic expression showcases his understanding that the essence and spiritual language conveyed through color and brushwork transcend all. He believes that a truly impactful artwork vibrates with an indescribable vitality, drawing from memories and a sense of distance to original aesthetic pleasures in our living spaces. Each image, refined and elevated by Xing, becomes a pure visual delight, allowing viewers to escape the harsh realities of life and indulge in serene beauty, where the interplay of shapes and spaces, traversing different times, reveals a truth and illusion within the painting, showcasing how memories and spaces can be invoked or traversed at will.
