Gulistan’s poetic feelings

Professor of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts
Gulistan is a beautiful and talented female painter. In my impression, she is always quiet, gentle, intelligent and elegant. Perhaps because of her mysterious blood, her paintings are both exotic and poetic from the East.
Wandering Reader
Gulistan herself is like a painting, she is always so delicate and beautiful, aesthetic Lyric; and her painting is like a poem, she is good at using fragments of image symbols, jumping thinking image, to express time and memory in her painting, creating a familiar strange feeling on the canvas. She likes all the beautiful and historical images, from the ruins of ancient Rome to the crane palace of song Huizong, from the side statue of ancient Greek goddess to the delicated hand reading poetry, from the Persian pattern of the Silk Road to the European beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean, all the beautiful things can arouse her interest in painting. She is good at using bright colors and elegant gray block to create a quiet picture effect. The simple plane picture is full of modern feeling. There is no specific narrative in her paintings, only poetic feelings. Gulistan and her paintings make people feel like a lyric light music, with both classical nobility and modern fashion. There is no secular pyrotechnic atmosphere, shielding the hardships and troubles in life, and only showing their best side to the world.
Musical notes of the earth
Gulistan uses the unique sensitivity of female painters to depict the clear sound of mountains and rivers, the feeling of empty valley and blue land, and the joy of all things growing. She has the romantic gaze at the flowers, the philosophy of Cultural Meditation, and the noble dialogue with the classic. This is a female painter’s colorful spiritual world, a poetic spiritual life.
