Не могу не написать о замечательном художнике Wai Ming. Богатство и яркость красок, реалистичность портретов детей, их самобытность и детская непосредственность,чистота души, всё эти качества мастерски передаёт художник в своих картинах. Я люблю такую живопись, когда смотришь на портреты детей,то поднимается настроение, не могу не сравнить его с художником Barry Yang,именно по манере письма, живописности, оба художника писали портреты детей разных народов Китая. Но это моё сравнение, конечно он может и не совпадать с другими мнениями. Одно могу написать точно,что живопись художника, ярко запоминается, вызывает целый сгусток эмоций.

Ниже привожу факты из биографии художника с его официального сайта.

Официальный сайт художника: http://www.waiming.com/
Wai Ming родился в 1938 году в Canton. Рос и учился в Гонконге, где без художественного образования начал писать. Переехал в 1974 году в Сан - Франциско.


Wai Ming's original oil paintings and fine art reproductions, mainly of oriental subjects, are admired and collected by people throughout the world, including the famous and foreign dignitaries. Seldom has the impact of an artist been so immediate as that of Wai Ming on his arrival in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974. His artistic sensitivity is combined with a startling realism that has caught the attention of the public. His four paintings that he displayed at Swanson Art Gallery in San Francisco for the first time in 1975 were all sold within the first day. Not only has the demand for his work grown steadily, but he is acknowledged by many as one of the Bay Area's leading artist.

Wai Ming was born in Canton in 1938, the son of a school master with nine children. Extremely poor as a child, he was raised in Hong Kong enduring many hardships. There, Wai Ming developed his drawing techniques without any art education and began painting what he saw.

Though self-taught, Wai Ming paints with a rare professionalism which makes an important social statement.
