For years, Xinru has traveled through numerous places in Colombia, taking photographs, making sketches, and collecting material to enrich his work. As a painter from an eastern country, Song discovered in Colombia a new world, full of bright and mystical colors.He was so fascinated by it that he decided to create a large number of watercolors in which he captured his amazement and affection for these new lands. Many of his watercolors show the nature and culture surrounding the Amazon River along with many other mountain and plains points in Colombia, its fauna, flora, and landscapes.During the years lived here, this painter has managed to combine the style of Colombian art with the style of Chinese art, which uses and applies ink and brushes with a different technique, creating his own style, with Western and Chinese nuances. This book is a good selection of his watercolors about Colombia made over 30 years of travel and refined work.Song Xinru has held numerous solo exhibitions and also participated in international watercolor exhibitions in various places in Latin America and Spain, receiving important awards and valuable critiques. About a thousand of his works have been acquired by collectors from Latin America, North America, and Europe.
