Qi Da Cheng is a member of the Chinese Artists Association who now lives in Shanghai. In 1975, he began to study Chinese landscape painting where he found his affinity for elements of botany and fauna, such as the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
He is a traditional Chinese painter who engages in Ink paintings that depict the vast and alluring landscapes of rural China. His primary medium of choice is Chinese ink on rice paper, as he uses his paintbrush to create intricate markings to complement the delicate nature of the medium. Much of his paintings depict rocky landscapes, mountains and rivers.
