Zao Wou-ki's etching is an ode to nature, but also a mirror of the human soul. Through his gestures, he explores the depth of human emotions in all their complexity. Majestic mountains loom like symbols of our inner struggles, while the sky intensifies the torments and hopes of every human being. The artist succeeds in capturing the very essence of our condition, inviting us to a silent, poignant reflection on our place in the universe. His works are a celebration of the pure artistic gesture, where every stroke carries a meaning, every color an emotion. He succeeds in evoking the essence of nature, capturing the energy that animates it. His abstraction is never cold or detached, but deeply lyrical and poetic.

Zao Wou-Ki
Zao Wou-Ki was born in Beijing, China, on February 13, 1921, to a wealthy family descended from the Song Dynasty.
French-educated Chinese artist Lin Fengmian was Wou-Ki’s teacher at the China Academy of Art from 1935–41 and encouraged him to study abroad in Paris. Wou-Ki made the move in 1948 with a substantial amount of financial backing and later adopted France as his new home, remaining in the country, besides a few short trips abroad, until his death.
In Paris, Wou-Ki quickly joined a large postwar French art circle, composed of key writers, poets, painters and cultural figures, including Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Riopelle and Vieira da Silva, among others. This networking helped position himself at the top of the Lyrical Abstraction movement. By his mid-30s, Wou-Ki had decided to devote his artistic career to abstract painting that blended Eastern and Western stylistic traditions.
In 2011, Wou-Ki was referred to in art publications as the top-selling living Chinese artist. He died in Nyon, Switzerland, on April 9, 2013, at the age of 93.
