The Memory
Many people will understand art as a way to beautify life, and Gulistan’s art creates new life. Architecture does need light, and it is difficult to feel the charm of architecture in the vast darkness. There is no external light in Gulistan’s work, the light comes from within. Her light source is subjective, the light cast by thought. Gulistan’s works will be like garden architecture, like the garden of human spirit, with the abundance of spiritual life. She is running her own spiritual garden. Each work is like an ever-opening undefeated garden, in which architecture and art reflect the level of civilization.
In my opinion, the poetry in Gulistan’s works is a kind of mercy. Although this mercy is very light, it is very deep. Such a Mercy is a kind of Mercy’s Taoism that everything exists and grows in time, and then disappears in time at the same time. Such a state of mercy is actually a kind of compassionate poetry. Then this is the true origin and deep meaning of art.

L’International Federation of Female Artists è particolarmente lieta del riconoscimento che viene conferito all’opera di On Gulistan con l’importante mostra delle sue opere pittoriche al National Museum of China di Pechino che si terrà nel mese di aprile di questo anno.
Un meritato riconoscimento per questa artista che da molti anni dedica il suo lavoro a diverse discipline artistiche. E che in questa esposizione presenta un nucleo consistente di opere che testimoniano il suo percorso creativo nell’ultimo ventennio nella pratica pittorica.
La pittura di On Gulistan è estremamente raffinata e nelle sue opere l’originale eleganza compositiva è sempre accompagnata da una fantasiosa sensibilità poetica.
The Shape of Gulistan’s Psyche
On Gulistan ci permette, attraverso il suo lavoro, di accedere al suo mondo femminile con la creazione di immagini che traggono spunto dalla realtà, una realtà di oggetti, figure e natura che è però sempre filtrata dalla sua visione interiore ricca di invenzioni e associazioni fantastiche.
Dalle sue opere emerge il forte legame che questa artista ha con la tradizione pittorica cinese ma anche la particolare attenzione che ha costantemente rivolto alla tradizione pittorica dell’occidente ed in particolare a quella italiana.
On Gulistan afferma con la sua pittura ,il ruolo determinante delle artiste donne nella società contemporanea, le quali con il loro lavoro creativo offrono un consistente contributo allo sviluppo e alla crescita culturale. Attraverso la creazione artistica pongono interrogativi e forniscono indicazioni di percorsi da compiere per una sempre maggiore integrazione tra le differenti culture riducendo le distanze culturali, sociali e di costume tra i popoli.

Goethe once sighed with emotion in his poet’s romantic brushwork: “Beauty is actually an original phenomenon, although it never appears in itself, but it is reflected in the countless different manifestations of the creative spirit, which can be witnessed, and it is in harmony with nature. Just as colorful.” In the art world, Gulistan’s gentle, delicate and elegant brushstrokes are like a clear stream in nature, a bird chirping, or a soft moonlight, never deliberately carved, but can naturally make the viewer feel like a spring breeze. At the same time, the work also carries a sense of historical heaviness. The two civilizations of the east and the west meet naturally. The characters in Gulistan’s paintings have both the serene Zen of traditional Chinese Buddha statues and the tranquility and solemnity of ancient Greece. The colors of Napok yellow and Van Dyke brown are intertwined and reminiscent To the connotation of the winding and continuous landscape painting. Through the integration of fragmented, fragmented and discontinuous images, the story scrolls full of exotic sense unfold slowly. This sense of foreignness may contradict the intimacy of color, but in the process of viewing flashbacks of consciousness, this contradiction leads to classicism and romanticism, past and present, individual and collective consciousness completed again and again Silent communication. Gulistan does not follow the script of classicism. In her writing, the classic techniques and artistic conception are reborn, just like the new shoots from the dead wood, which have both the color of hope and the fragrance of life.

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.

Memory of the portrait -Beautiful age II
Gulistan’s painting is like herself, light and elegant, ethereal and illusory. Her group painting “portrait in memory”, which integrates Chinese and western, runs through the ancient and modern times, gathers time and space in the elements of memory, and integrates them into a pure picture which is not only obscure and indifferent, but also clear and amiable, in which there are both leisurely and leisurely flowers and birds, and mysterious and profound sky and sea. The bright yellow of the East and the melancholy light blue of the western regions complement each other, the reverie of Persian flowers and the golden dream inlaid by Byzantium linger; the former glory of the Roman emperor is like a passing cloud, and the present temptation of Turkish palace ladies is only a flash in the pan. The passing of a white horse reflects Dali’s eternal memory, and the flying crane shows the true wisdom of Buddhism. In addition, the quiet mountains, forests and rivers of Kaii Higashiyama and the restless clouds in Munch’s sky smash reality and dreams in the memory of time and space. Gulistan’s paintings not only has a long-term aesthetic charm, but also has profound philosophical enlightenment. Just feels that life is nothing more than a dream of Nanke. Thick ink and heavy color is nothing more than a smile. Understatement is the essence of life and art.
Gulistan’s paintings are just like herself. In a word, they are pure. Innocence without any affectation is like a pure and eternal child in ancient Greece. All things in the sky and the craftsmen of heaven reveal their simplicity and beauty.
