history and Today
Interior paintings in China originated from artworks inside snuff bottles. During the Jiaqing Period of the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) - 400 years after the introduction of snuff tobacco to China, the art of interior painting soon followed. After years of exploration and creativity, the artworks were expanded to include wine utensils, interior-painted furnishings, perfume bottles, beads, lighters, etc.

Today, the birth of neo-interior paintings have injected fresh blood into this burgeoning art. Against the widespread practice of plagiarism and lack of creativity, neo-interior paintings attach much importance to modern sense and novel thought about the art, advocating natural beauty with real emotions. Representatives of such artists are Liu Yizi, Dongxue and Suojing, whose artworks express their own understanding of the universe and nature. Through creative art forms, they infuse the traditional art with a new vision, which also marks a significant transformation in interior painting from a traditional folk art to a modern one.
