"Tian Qu" (natural charm) is a key aesthetic ideal in Xieyi painting, emphasizing a sense of effortless freedom, spontaneity, and a deep connection to nature, requiring artists to let their intuition guide the creative process, resulting in works that feel both deeply moving and authentically beautiful.
Xieyi painting embraces imperfection as a source of beauty and reflects the spontaneity of the natural world, valuing the unpredictable nature of ink and brushstrokes, the unique hand of the artist, and the philosophy of Daoism, inviting viewers to appreciate the process and the authentic human element within the artwork.
