Fan Xiaoming's Buddhist works sublate the "artistic conception" pursued by ordinary painters, transcending the "emotion" and "meaning" of literati painting, and are full of truth, goodness and beauty in silence, and regard painting Buddha and bodhisattva as a graceful practice. His works not only miraculously interpret ancient, traditional and solidified religious themes in the modern context, but also inject aesthetic and natural materials of the times, without losing the sacredness, solemnity, rigor and purity of religious works, and satisfactorily express respect for the virtue of saints.

Teacher Xia Jingshan
Xia Jingshan, 16-year-old Buddhist, studied Danqing under Mr. Guo Weiqu, and then visited famous teachers to learn painting techniques such as flowers, figures, ladies and landscapes. With painstaking efforts and inspiration, his skills became more and more proficient. At the age of 28, Master Bai Nanting became a teacher, converted to Buddhism, made a vow to devote himself to the Buddha, did his duty, practiced bodhisattva and devoted himself to the cause of Buddhism. Since then, he has devoted himself to Buddhism, extensively cultivated bodhisattvas, and studied metaphysical teaching methods with eminent monks and great virtues at home and abroad for more than 50 years. The dew of Buddhism not only opened his wisdom, but also made his Buddhist painting art reach a transcendent, pure and solemn realm.
