Dunhuang,an oasis of culture surrounded by the vast sands of the Gobi Desert,served as a
shelter for ancient weary Silk Road travelers 1,000 years ago.Carved into the cliffs high above
the Dachuan River,the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu Province consist of the largest,richest and
longest-used treasure house of traditional art in the world,inspiring young artists to this very day.
Inside the grottoes,murals (painted with minerals have stood the test of time,still
shining bright and brilliant.To carry forward this painting technique,Lian Yang,an artist in her
30s,decided to make the traditional art increasingly known among younger generations.She
once worked only on ink and digital painting,but soon felt creatively stuck.Then she learned
about mineral color painting and made it the focus of her career.
The traditional Chinese painting technique was commonly used before the Tang Dynasty.
However,the skill gradually faded from the central Chinese artistic landscape after the Song
Dynasty when literati(文人)ink painting grew.
"I want to pour more of my own ideas into creations and find an artistic expression that
cannot be easily replaced with modern technologies,although the costs of handmade art are
higher and it requires more time than digital creation,"Lian Yang said.
As a modern artist,Lian Yang does not limit herself by strictly following tradition.She has
cooperated with the operator of mobile game King of Glory,creating works in Dunhuang fresco
style.She also frequently posts short videos covering the creative process of mineral color
artworks across different Chinese social media,attracting many young people.
Riding the China Chic tide,a term referring to the rise of China's native fashion trends,
traditional art needs commercialization to further develop.Lian Yang hopes mineral art can be
integrated into movies,online games and even the metaverse,an integrated network of 3D
virtual worlds.
