Personal Profile

Geng Zhihui, also known as Geng Hui, was born in 1979 in Hengshui City, Hebei Province, and is a professional painter. He serves as a council member of the Snuff Bottle Professional Committee of the China Artists Association, a member of the Inner Painting Art Committee of the China Folk Literature and Art Association, and a Hebei Folk Arts and Crafts Artist. He formally began studying inner painting in 1998 and has since dedicated over 20 years to the creation of inner-painted snuff bottles. He studied under Master Fu Guoshun, a National Master of Arts and Crafts, and later received guidance from Mr. Zhang Rucai (also a National Master of Arts and Crafts). His works cover a wide range of themes, particularly excelling in figures and landscapes... His painting style is delicate, with soft and fluid lines and elegant, refined colors. Representative works include the “Jiangnan Water Town” four-season set of snuff bottles, “Small Bridge • Flowing Water • Homes,” the “Four Beauties” set, and the “Four Great Classical Novels” series... His works have been highly praised and collected by numerous collectors both domestically and internationally. His creations have been selected for publication in books such as “Inner Painting Art” and “Collection of Masterpieces by Chinese Arts and Crafts Masters.” Honors Timeline: 2003: Hebei Folk Arts and Crafts Artist. 2004: Member of the Inner Painting Art Committee of the China Folk Literature and Art Association. 2016: Member of the Inner Painting Committee at the Shanghai World Intangible Cultural Heritage City, China. 2017: Council Member of the Snuff Bottle Professional Committee of the China Artists Association. Artistic Reflections: Creating inner paintings not only requires profound artistic skills and superb techniques, but also poses a challenge to one’s endurance. Completing a single inner painting often demands sitting for ten or even dozens of hours. What distinguishes inner painting from exterior painting is that the painting sequence is reversed: what is painted backward on the inner wall appears forward on the outer surface; the mouth of a snuff bottle is generally small, restricting painting movements; furthermore, the inner wall is frosted, appearing like a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see the brush tip—whose length is merely a few millimeters. Therefore, long-term, rigorous training is required to adapt to this painting method. Precisely because of the difficulty inherent in inner painting techniques and creation, a completed work becomes especially precious.
