Shanshui painting

Shanshui painting, meaning "mountain and water" painting, is a traditional Chinese art form that captures scenic landscapes using brushwork and ink. It emphasizes the harmony between nature and human emotion, often depicting mountains, rivers, trees, and waterfalls with expressive strokes. Instead of aiming for photographic accuracy, shanshui artists focus on conveying the spirit and mood of the landscape, blending realism with idealism. This style values the flow and rhythm of brushstrokes, creating a sense of depth and movement that invites viewers to reflect on nature’s majesty and transient beauty.
