Meet Yu Linhao, an 8-year-old Indonesian artist whose vibrant depiction of Guilin’s mountains and rivers just snagged Second Prize in the \"China Through My Eyes\" Global Children’s Art Project! Combining traditional Chinese ink-wash techniques with bold, imaginative strokes, Yu’s artwork breathes new life into the ancient saying: \"Guilin’s scenery is the best under heaven.\"
The painting transports viewers to misty karst peaks and serene riverscapes, mirroring the region’s UNESCO-listed wonders. \"Through a child’s eyes, we see China’s beauty unfiltered – full of color, dreams, and endless possibility,\" said a spokesperson for the art project organizers.
