In Ai Xuan's paintings, two subjects predominate: children and the snowy landscape of Tibet. Ai Xuan visited Tibet many times and, attracted by the landscape, he painted the people and the land. He left the traditional realism of his earlier works and approached the world of Buddhism and Zen. Ai Xuan's well-drawn figure outlines fill his work with the charm of Chinese classical art; transparent colours make the painting echo with the rhythm of nature.
