Watercolour on paper

Signed on the front.

Spirit of this painting :
The endless knot is a symbolic knot and one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols. It is an important cultural marker in places significantly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. Under the common belief that the endless looping prevents padlock from entering homes. The Mongolian characters have a meaning of good luck and happiness. The perfect bloom of peonies symbolises wealthy, auspicious, honour and graceful in Chinese art for centuries.

It is my honour to be born in a country with multi-culture. It gives me the chance to look back to search for inspiration. This artwork is for my beautiful hometown Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.

I wish to share this deeply endless happiness with you. ——Jade Li
