Meet He Jialin, the artist who turns China’s 24 solar terms into vibrant canvases of emotion and tradition. 🌧️ Inspired by a drizzly Qingming Festival years ago, he began blending poetry and painting to capture the essence of each seasonal marker—a practice he calls his ‘cultural lifeline.’
From spring blossoms to winter frost, He’s works aren’t just art; they’re love letters to nature’s rhythm. His secret sauce? Adding handwritten poems to his paintings, creating a mashup of visual and literary storytelling that even Gen Z can’t scroll past. 📜✨
Why solar terms? These ancient markers—dating back 2,500 years—guide farming and festivals. But for He, they’re a canvas to reconnect with heritage in a tech-driven world. ‘It’s like time-traveling with a paintbrush,’ he says.
