Gemini Buddha (2018) Painting by Rui Wang

Wang Rui, usually residing in Beijing, was born in a family of calligraphers and painters, the sixth grandson of Gong Qinggao, one of the most famous calligraphers and painters in the Sichuan area during the Qing Dynasty. he graduated from the Academy of Arts and Design at Tsinghua University in 1999, and has been engaged in architecture and interior design for many years, creating many excellent architectural works. He systematically studied Chinese Feng Shui and applied it to his design work. He grew up with a love of mysticism, studying Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism and Christianity, and is passionate about the comparative study of different religions and ethnic cultures. In the process of practicing calligraphy, he realized the real meaning of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches through the Chinese oracle bone inscriptions, and published the book "干支解密THE DECRYPTION OF HEAVENLY STEMS AND EARTHLY BRANCHES" in 2023.

The pursuit of the truth of the universe and life was his ideal, and was not limited to a particular country, nationality or religious belief. He believed that art is not only to express the beauty of existence such as nature and life, not only to express the artist's feelings and emotions, not only to express the artist's attitude towards a certain event. Art should pursue higher spiritual truths, observe the world unseen by ordinary people with the inner eye and present it. The purpose of art is to explain the deeper mysteries of the universe and to feel the ubiquitous divine wisdom.
