Art inspires stronger China-Italy ties

The results of their endeavors, the works, give audiences "a sense of assurance, stability and delicate balance", according to Giuseppe Calonaci, one of the artists showing at the exhibition at the National Art Museum of China.

Calonaci's Form illustrates his belief that a piece of art is the unity of form and color and to achieve perfection, the proportions of the work should be appropriate.

Granted such freedom in the creation process, the artists have built a bridge to connect the past and future, the figurative and abstract, their native culture and Eastern aesthetics.
