Zeng hao from sicuan, has given birth to great works with the theme of Dun huang, This has inspired Arka caraka to lift Dun huang similar theme but with the different historical background. If Zeng hao with background dun huang in the desert Goby, which has a long history of Buddhist culture, the Arka caraka with java cultural background is a close relation to Buddhists and Hindus in java, who had triumphed in the mainland island of Java and its surroundings.With evidence such as the historic legacy of Borobudur and Prambanan temple.

We all already know about the ancient heritage buildings, a case of Mogao cave in the Gobi desert, Borobudur and Prambanan in central Java, Tikal in Guatemala and many others.
All that is past masterpieces of art full of wonders.
And it's all always relate to cultural and religious backgrounds.Even among those in the separation by vast distances, but there's always something that a basic similarity.

Religious beliefs are rooted in the society is not free from the influence of leaders or local authorities
We take the example in remote mainland as the island of Java,there a fertile ground for the spread of religion since the Age of empire majapahit even until now.
The villagers always easily accept any religious ideas that were supplied by their leaders .This allows to avoid inter-religious conflik,and achieve the prosperity of the people,As in the queen's reign Tri Bhuwana Tungga dewi, majapahit become great and prosperous nation, the area of his power over all the islands in indonasia, cambodia and thailand.
TRI BHUWANA TUNGGA DEWI that was helped GADJAH MADA has achieved glory,for the kingdom majapahit at the time.And also build mental-spiritual society which had a high culture,we can see the evidence right now through the relics of their masterpiece.Kingdom of Majapahit was the name of a Hindu kingdom in East Java. The kingdom was foundedby Raden Wijaya in 1293Kingdom of Majapahit had time victorious In the reign of King Hayam Wuruk (1350-1389) which accompanied by commander Gadjah Mada.Kingdom majapahit stand,after kingdom Singha sari collapse.
Beginning with the death of the king Kertanegara (king Singha sari) in the event of attack Jayakatwang King (King of Kediri).
King Kertanegara along with all other royal officials were killed in the attack.
Raden Wijaya (law of King Kertanegara) immediately fled to Sumenep( Madura island ), and get protection from the Aryan Wiraraja( ruler in Sumenep).
King Jayakatwang highly respected Arya Wiraraja 'so Raden Wijaya forgiven.After obtaining remission,from King Jayakatwang,Raden Wijaya and his followers were allowed to clear the TARIK forest (now a Trowulan Village, East Java) into the village.
This is where then stands center of Majapahit kingdom.

My imagery My Oil-painting

When I first walked into the mysterious world of Dunhuang, the fabulous paintings and sculptures got my eyes immediately. The splendor and profundity of Dunhuang art shocked me deeply. I visited this holy land of Buddhism many times later as a pilgrim to observe and learn the spirits of it, and determined to promote the grandeur Dunhuang art to the whole
After back to my hometown from Dunhuang, I threw myself into the creations of Dunhuang Flying series with my whole heart। For the sake of expressing the profound historical spirit of Dunhuang art sufficiently and met the aesthetic taste of modern people; I adopted western romantic oil painting style instead of only the existing rock painting technique of Dunhuang art and combined it successfully with the traditional Chinese culture and current aesthetic prevalence। The Dunhuang Goddess I created is an embodiment of the Saint, nobleness and goodness of human nature. The same spirit is also expressed in my landscape oil paintings.


The AvalOkiteSVara Goddess used to appear as a male figure in the paintings before the Tang period in China. However, his image gradually became more gentle, feminine and beautiful in later periods after Tang and finally turned into a beautiful, kind woman. We could see that even the culture of Buddhism is also based on the common costumes of the world, just more ideal than the common world.
In the figure creation of the Dunhuang goddess, I combined the face characteristics of western people into my paintings since Dunhuang is along the Silk Road between Eastern and Western world। I also fused the Classic beauty and modern beauty successfully in the Goddess I drew. My Dunhuang oil painting series are not only aimed at promoting religion belief, but also used to describe a tranquil, peaceful and romantic paradise in my deep heart at this busy material world through the concrete image of AvalOkiteSVara Goddess and Feitian Goddess I created.
The costumes and jewelries drawn on Dunhuang fresco are gorgeous, but they lack the hierarchical and stereoscopic perception। After consulting the characteristics of a great deal of Chinese minority dresses, I combined some patterns of modern brocade and self-created patterns together to increase the natural and graceful feeling of Dunhuang Goddess, making their image seems more stereoscopic and modern at the same time। The jewelries of the Goddess are mostly silver with red ruby and sapphire beads on them। I also paid attention to the skin texture of the painting particularly to give the viewer a strong visual shock. The Dunhuang series of my oil paintings are totally different from traditional Dunhuang image in the figures, costume, jewelries and backgrounds. The Dunhuang figures are always characterized as chubby face and body with no extremely big change in their costumes and jewelries in the fresco paintings of Dunhuang Mogao Cave and other Chinese painting works of former artists। However, the Dunhuang Goddesses I created are totally different from the former paintings with peaceful expression and modern beautiful appearance. They also shock the user deeply in heart with pure, amiable spirits and in-depth culture through the fashion visual effects. Dunhuang is a culture where the tradition and creative ideas co-exist. I comprehend and interpret the spirit of Dunhuang from the view of our own era and express the belief of Buddhism from a new angle. My paintings are more original and humanized with immense novel ideas and modern charms. They are not only the perfect image of the real world but also the retrospect and yearn for the ancient traditional culture.

I could say proudly that the Dunhuang Goddess I created is the real goddess in my heart. She is also the soul of the pure truth, goodness and beauty.
Dunhuang is an mysterious book which I could never finished reading. And I will continue reading and deploring it until the end of my life¡­
Nice and secluded in far quite freedom
