An Du was born in 1963 and graduated from Beijing University. He is presently employed with the National Library of Beijing, where he oversees the painting and calligraphy collection. He has been exhibiting his works since 1985.

A touch of Eastern art from the land that produces the world's most precious porcelain: China. An Du grasps pen and paper, translating observations into rapid, decisive gestures. The color is animated. The paper receives the image without immobilizing it. This is how a work of art is born: pure images generates nuances that change and develop, infusing the design with spirit. The artist's themes are classic:  lotus flowers, birds in a blue sky... From them flows a great sense of peace.
