In a celebration of cross-cultural creativity, 10-year-old Chen Shiyue from Germany has captured hearts with her artwork \"I Love China,\" earning the Third Prize in the prestigious \"China Through My Eyes\" Global Children's Art Project.
Chen's painting is a vibrant tapestry of Chinese symbols and elements, meticulously crafted using colored pencils. At the center of her artwork, the phrase \"I Love China\" is beautifully written in Chinese characters, serving as the heart of the piece. Surrounding this heartfelt message are iconic representations such as giant pandas, the Great Wall, the Ti’ananmen Gate Tower, the Oriental Pearl Tower, red lanterns, a pipa, and traditional Chinese snacks.
The light color palette and balanced composition of Chen's work create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, reflecting her deep appreciation and understanding of Chinese culture. Her artwork not only showcases her artistic talent but also her ability to connect and find joy in exploring different cultures.
Chen’s inspiration stems from her two memorable trips to the Chinese mainland and the numerous Chinese stories her mother shared with her. These experiences have left a lasting impression, fueling her passion to express her love and admiration for China through art.
Congratulations to Chen Shiyue for her outstanding achievement and for being a shining example of young global citizens fostering international friendships through creativity!
