If artists painted not with paints, but with notes, and could create not pictures, but music, a Chinese artist Kim Xu would be the author of amazing compositions that are easy to recognize among hundreds of others. The traditional sounding of his melodies is successfully combined with their modern arrangement, and as a result, national Chinese creativity not only does not get lost against the background of Western and European, but also benefits significantly. Kim Xu is an artist by training, like his grandfather, under whose guidance he learned to paint his first watercolors in the oriental style as a child. Already while studying in Shanghai, he became interested in oil painting, in the Western manner, and thought that it would be nice to combine these two parts of the world, which played equal roles in his fate, on one canvas, in one painting. Since then, the artist has supplemented his watercolors with oil-painted elements, resulting in stunning East-West contemporary masterpieces.
And since in both Western and Eastern culture the role of the artist's muse is invariably assigned to a woman, it is they, light, sonorous, beautiful, graceful and stylish, that adorn the author's paintings by Kim Xu. They are depicted in a variety of incredible images, guises and outfits, subtly hinting at the Eastern origin of girls, but with a typically Western provocative charm and provocative sexuality. Unless the atmosphere, mood and palette betray the origin of the author, and other small nuances invisible to the eye suggest that, first of all, in the paintings it is still the East. And he, as you know, is a delicate matter.
You can only enjoy the wonderful painting of Kim Xu, getting a sea of energy, positive and good mood. All this can be done on the artist's website.

Forbidden and Permissible in Islamic Painting: From Fine Miniatures of the Past to Modern Nudes
It has long been believed that in the countries of the Islamic world, the image of living beings, including people, is prohibited by religion. Is it really? On the one hand, artists are, as it were, allowed to depict living creatures, including their own kind, and on the other, there really is a kind of veto that prohibits not only the art of portraiture itself, but the very attitude towards it. Today I would like to shed light on these conflicting speculations
