On September 5, From a Dream, a solo oil painting exhibition by Slovak surrealist painter Jaro Šulek, opened at the Great Wall Art Museum in Beijing. The exhibition will run through September 13.

Jaro Šulek’s works fall into the avant-garde school of international neo-surrealism, with appliqué as his primary technique. This exhibition features creations themed on dreams completed by the artist over the past 13 years. Intertwined animal and human figures embody the artist’s pursuit of eternal beauty and peace.

Since his first visit to China in 2010, Jaro Šulek has been invited to display paintings at Expo 2010 Shanghai China and the 8th China International Import Expo. He has held multiple solo exhibitions across China, actively building bridges for cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and Slovakia. He has travelled extensively across China for creative inspiration, capturing China’s history and contemporary reality with his brush, and depicting the beauty of cultural integration between the East and the West through paintings.

“I am delighted to present some of my paintings to you. This is a special moment where two cultures meet and inspire each other. Art holds immense power to connect people from all corners of the world,” said Jaro Šulek.
