Among the Chinese art Delaleuf has seen, both during her three visits to China and at exhibitions she has helped to organize or attended herself, ink wash is her favorite, because it is something so far from what she is used to working with.

"Ink wash was very strange for us. I love ink wash because I don't know how to paint that way. In our last salon we invited five Chinese artists who work with old materials, like ink wash, but used them in new ways to make modern art. It's a very new feeling for me," Delaleuf said.

"I love ceramics too: the old ones and the modern ones are both appealing. I know I'm not alone to love that," the artist added.

As for the exhibitions themselves, Delaleuf said these forms of exchanges between artists from China and France should continue.

"I think we must go on this way because we learn to appreciate each other. (It is a chance for) artists to talk to each other. It's a real pleasure to see that. It is a good way for French people to learn about China.

"Our countries have a historical link and I hope this friendly link lasts a long time. Artists are welcome in France. Chinese people are welcome in France. I hope the French people and French artist are too in China," Delaleuf said.
