精灵画家古丽•斯坦
精灵画家古丽•斯坦严雪
她，一个游走于色彩中的精灵，一个会用画笔施咒的魔女，一个忠于自己灵魂的画家。翻开她的画册你会当即感到一种奇妙的力量排山倒海地袭来，这种无可匹敌的艺术感染力会将你领入一个神奇的世界。
在现今这个浮华的时代，她的作品却没有过多地沾染浮躁之气，不像有些在名利的夹缝中忘记了自己创作初衷的画家，她的作品处处流露着她对绘画的那份最原始的热情，从她的画中你甚至可以感受到一种生命的律动。
我时常觉得她的画光用眼睛看是远远不够的，她的画中仿佛总有一道光，指引着你去找寻那条通往心灵深处的道路，也唯有真正用心灵去品味方能到达这一专属于心灵的仙境，一片心灵的宁静之地。她的画中有静的一面，亦有动的一面。在她的《海顿的钢琴与古丽的椅子》和《有关时间的作品》系列作品中，仿佛住着一个天马行空的顽童，她将带着你穿越时空的界限，在时间的灰烬中驰骋，带你飞上艺术瑰丽的云端，去呼吸沉淀在画布上的自由的气息。
总觉得坠入她画中世界的这段时间，就像是赴了一场弥足珍贵的生命盛宴。她的画空灵而纯净，笔触飘逸而柔和，既富有诗意又有些谜幻，徜徉其中，使你的心不自觉的就会跟着她的画笔一起澎湃。她的画更像是一种媒介，在画中你可以和任何人对话，你可以从一个全新的视角重新认识这个世界。
她的《记忆的性质》，应该算是给我留下最深印象的一个系列作品了。看过后，我也不禁问自己，到底记忆的性质是什么呢？是被雕刻的时间，还是驻足在角落里的那些或悲伤或快乐的符号，亦或是生命中那些残破而斑驳的过往。此刻，看着她的画，散落的记忆在这一刻凝聚，一个个记忆中的画面也在我的脑海中相互碰撞着，交织着，留下的是一道道生命的痕迹。无数条记忆的河流流过这些画，感动也在这一刻蔓延开来，感觉好像被一种无法言语的美丽包裹着，心中充满童话般美妙的希望。
最后，我要说的是，她就是古丽•斯坦，一个如她的画一样素雅中不失精致、平淡里突显卓越的女画家。

Faerie Artist Gulistan
Yanxue
A fairy roaming in colors, an enchantress able to cast her spell with a painting brush, an artist loyal to her own soul, she is Gulistan. The moment you open her album of paintings, you will be infected by the art, immediately feeling unable to resist the force which is sending you to a magic land.
Unlike so many money-driven artists, Gulistan paints with the most primitive passion, which floats throughout all her works. One can feel a deep spring of life from her paintings, in which no taint of the superficialness of the age is to be found.
I always feel that it is far from enough to just stay at the surface of Gulistan’s paintings. These paintings are endowed with a drop of light, which leads you to the road to the wonderland of soul. But to reach the serene land, you must feel with your soul. Serenity is a feature of her paintings; so is animation. It seems that in her two series Haydn’s Piano and Guli’s Chair and About Time lives a powerful and unconstrained imp, who will take you past the boundary of time and space. With her, you gallop in space time, soaring in the realm of brilliant art, meanwhile feeling the air of freedom on the canvases.
Appreciating her paintings is like attending a rare banquet of life. Indulging in the purity, the elegance, the poetic land and dreamy air, you are in a surging mood, as is the artist. With her works, you can get a chance to talk with anyone and get to know the world from a new perspective.
The one that impressed me most deeply is her painting The Essence of Nature. After regarding the painting, I asked myself: What on earth is the essence of nature? Is it the sculpted time, or those sad or happy symbols in a solitary corner, or the fragmented coming and going of life? Right at this moment, looking at her paintings, I am picking up pieces of interweaving memories. The vestige of life is thus printed. Countless rivers of memories stream past the paintings. It is so moving that I feel myself embraced by an unspoken beauty, filled with marvelous hopes.
Finally, I want to say that such is Gulistan, an elegant but delicate, plain but brilliant artist.
