Honorable Mention: “Vintage Window of Prosperity” Awarded at Watercolor Golden Brush France 2026

I am incredibly honored to announce that my original watercolor painting, “Vintage Window of Prosperity” (《祥发拾光》), has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Landscape/Cityscape Category at the 3rd Annual Watercolor Golden Brush International Virtual Exhibition-Competition in France.

This prestigious international competition welcomed incredible talents from 54 different countries. To have my urban realism watercolor recognized by the jury and awarded an Honorable Mention among such a diverse and competitive global field is a profound milestone in my artistic journey.

About the Award-Winning Artwork: “Vintage Window of Prosperity” (2026, 28.4 x 31 cm) is a highly detailed exploration of time, memory, and urban decay. The painting captures the intricate, gritty textures of a weathered, rusted window frame, complete with peeling wall paint, torn advertisements, and rusty wire mesh. Through the demanding and fluid medium of watercolor, my goal was to find the quiet beauty in forgotten urban corners, preserving a fragment of history that is slowly fading away.

The official virtual exhibition is now live. I warmly invite you to view my painting and explore the magnificent artworks created by my fellow international artists.
