"I believe there is a similarity between traditional Chinese and ancient Egyptian arts," Xie said.

She added that the expression both civilizations used was surreal style approach based on the ancient Egyptians and Chinese research on the subjects of the relationship between people and nature as well as eternity.

"I have long years searching for the second half of my artistic life and I have finally found it in Egypt," she revealed.

Hua Xin, counselor of the Chinese embassy in Egypt and representative of the organizer, told Xinhua "art knows no boundary."

"This is the first time we hold the painting exhibition for Chinese female artists," he said, adding that "as the organizer and promoter of bilateral cultural relations, we will try to do more about cultural exchange and activities."

The works of the Chinese artists were highly valued by the exhibition visitors who expressed appreciation for their world-class art.

"The exhibition conveys the Chinese culture and visions to the Egyptian side, especially as artists come from different Chinese provinces, and each passes on her experience," Khaled Soror, head of Fine Arts Department at Egypt's Ministry of Culture, told Xinhua.

He pointed out that this diversity has enriched the exhibition with different artistic trends, especially the methods of painting, adding that the Chinese artists are very distinguished.

For his part, Egyptian artist Mohamed Abla said the traditional ar

tistic values of Chinese art, raw materials, colors and keenness to keep pace with contemporary art are the most important characteristics of works in the exhibition.

"They maintained the equation of tradition and modernity," he told Xinhua.
