I have studied calligraphy and painting, classical poetry since childhood, and during my studies, I have read a lot of ancient and modern calligraphy and painting books. I have studied theoretical techniques and embarked on the path of calligraphy and painting art. I am currently studying in the postgraduate landscape class of the China Academy of Art and the China Academy of Art Creation. . The artistic thoughts of famous ancient and modern artists have deeply influenced his painting style and creative outlook. For the sake of art, he was willing to travel over mountains and ridges, forgetting to eat and sleep. He placed his artistic life on the land of China, and praising the mountains and rivers that raised him was the soul of his works. Hu Wen has unique profound skills and high artistic realm. He uses a variety of pen and ink to express an unshakable demeanor and establishes his own style.
Hu Wen did not stick to tradition without changing it. He advocates "innovation" and believes that "innovation must start from going deep into life, starting from the expansion of concepts, using one's own vision, one's own feelings, and one's own thinking to observe and understand life. Being intelligent is only one aspect, and I'm afraid there are more This is also due to his diligent learning and courage in practice. He emphasized the relationship between calligraphy and painting in his paintings. He believed that calligraphy and painting have the same origin and are rooted in each other. Painting is calligraphy and calligraphy is painting. His works use The pen and ink language of the times pursues nature. Among the contemporary Chinese painting circles, Hu Wen can be called a down-to-earth calligrapher and painter who is full of confidence in pursuing artistic peaks.
After long-term artistic creation practice, Hu Wen has succeeded.

His works express rich brushwork, fresh artistic conception, bright but not bright colors, elegant but not vulgar, following the natural method, and highlighting texture, such as his representative works "Clouds in Huangshan Mountain", "Moonlight Flowing Water", "Sound of Spring" and "Viewing". "Cloud Atlas", "Visiting Friends in Pine Valley", "Autumn Rain in Taihang", etc. have all won high praise. His works have been exhibited many times at home and abroad and published in various publications. Many of his works are collected by art schools, museums and collectors at home and abroad. .
In his artistic career of nearly a century, he has carefully figured out a way to break through the tradition, thus achieving a unique atmosphere and realm in modern compositions. To the created environment, from the natural scene to the inner scene, from the externalized concrete symbols to the inner spiritual schema, through the catharsis of new feeling points, Hu Wen finally transcended the purely natural movement of sketching and obtained a different kind of ink painting. With his taste, he gave traditional Chinese paintings a new look and re-bloomed the brilliance of youth.
Today's world is in a period of great development, change and adjustment, which provides a relaxed and superior environment for today's calligraphers and painters. The richness and richness of the painter's personality have led to the frequent rise of various artistic trends in contemporary times, and inheritance and innovation are particularly important.
