Chinese Art Paintings

Our Chinese Buddhist Paintings are museum-quality original Chinese paintings created by established contemporary Chinese artists in China. Our artists preserve the 1,500-year old tradition of Chinese painting. Their choices of subject matter are either inspirational or personal, reflecting their respect for the classical Chinese painting techniques. They paint each painting passion and devotion. Some of the featured artists are Buddhist devotees, with a generous heart to share with you what they think is beautiful and important in their lives. They define traditional subject matters in a contemporary context and add a unique twist to its original interpretation.

Buddhist paintings displayed here represent the finest creation of contemporary Buddhist pictorial art and reinterpretations of Buddhist temple art discovered on the Silk Road. For example, wall paintings from Dunhuang Buddhist cave temples (Dunhuang, Gansu) and silk banners from the Khara Khoto Collection (Inner Mongolia, China) are carefully chosen to share with you the gems of Buddhist paintings from old China. Contemporary Buddhist paintings inspired by traditional symbols and motifs, such as Buddhist Zen landscape paintings and images of Guanyi (Avalokitesvara), are also included to show the rich content of Chinese Buddhist art. When you collect one of our Chinese Buddhist paintings, you are supporting our Chinese artists who strive to preserve the best of Chinese artistic traditions and aesthetics.
