Mediterranean Harbor, original oil painting on canvas by Li Jin Ming (2004) Malerei von Jin Ming Li

Who would have thought that I would travel to China, only to find a harbor scene from my native Mediterranean region? As you may not know, the Chinese are fascinated by other cultures, as they have had limited contact with them during much of the last century. Chinese artists who have been around for the last several decades are lucky, and some have gone abroad to study, to work, or to stay. Therefore, you might just as well get a scene from China or from somewhere else, in the world, from a contemporary Chinese artist. This harbor scene from the Mediterranean Sea by Jing Ming Lee is a charming example. Having been born in Hong Kong, Jing Ming Lee is one of the more international of the modern Chinese artists and has achieved a good amount of international recognition. Moreover, his painting techniques are comparable to any artists that you might come across in Europe or the U.S. Indeed, the brushwork, in this piece, is simply amazing, either up close or at a distance, and the picture of the painting could never hope to do it justice.
