“Peiliang’s paintings convey a refreshing sense of optimism.  His watercolors evoke the dawn of a new day or the very pleasant golden haze of a world we may wish to see, but somehow seldom find.”

     A landscape painter of outdoor scenes, particularly in watercolor, Shanghai-born artist Peiliang Jin blends a unique synthesis of East and West through both traditional Chinese and modern art. His technique is inspired by his classical training and in the ancient watercolor methods of Chinese art. 
     Peiliang’s cosmopolitan Shanghai-style is underscored by a consummate passion which creates an exceptional technique which envelops our senses and gently warms us internally. His unique background of traditional Chinese art, modern art, and portrait art and his extraordinary eye for blending color all combine to give us a harmonious vision of the peace and tranquility of the world.
     Fine point brushes allow him, with a single stroke, to convey accuracy and delicacy to highlight anchor structures such as trees and flowers within a painting, while at the same time blending curve, color and light in the more expansive parts of the picture.  The total effect of his technique engagingly pulls the viewer into the painting itself.
     Born in Shanghai China in 1958, Peiliang Jin emigrated to the USA in 1988 and later became an American citizen. Raised in an artist’s family, his father and grandfather are both portrait painters, Peiliang first studied traditional Chinese painting for seventeen years from two noted masters; Jian-Lou Cao and Yo Ding in Shanghai. In the late 1980’s he studied modern art at the Dusseldorf Art Academy in Germany. He also received a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.  His work has been exhibited in many shows and appears in over 100 private collections.
     Peiliang lives in New York City with his wife and daughter.
