China taking peace and harmony as artistic spirit never threatens world
Yvonne Cecilia seemed to be enchanted by the embodiment the concept of harmony in China's contemporary artistic works, which have found a good showcase at the ongoing 2nd Beijing International Art Biennial held in China's capital and also at the 16th IAA general assembly held in Hefei.
"Harmony is China's philosophy of life, and art is integrated with life for the Chinese people,"said the Mexican sculptress.
"We admire China's development and its opening to the rest of the world, and we don't think it's a threat. Maybe it's a kind of challenge promoting international competition,"she added, in high spirit while strolling in a special art exhibition during the 16th General Assembly of International Association of Art (IAA), which is being held in Hefei, the capital city of east China's Anhui Province.
Cecilia said it's very important for global artists to attend this assembly, which is hosted by China for the first time. Here artists from over 80 countries around the world communicate with each other with their works instead of words. "This is a kind of universal expression that can link the whole world together,"she said.
Participants in this international art conference have been fascinated by the aura of harmony and peace in Chinese fine arts. They said their understanding about China has deepened through the ongoing artistic exhibition and meeting.
