Chinese rice paper painting, also known as "xuan paper" painting, is a traditional art form characterised by delicate brushwork and fluid, expressive strokes. Artists use soft rice paper to capture subjects like landscapes, birds, flowers, and calligraphy, blending ink and water-colours with a harmonious, ethereal quality. The paper's absorbent nature requires skilful control, as each brushstroke is permanent, encouraging an intentional, meditative approach. This art form embodies balance, simplicity, and the graceful beauty of nature.
