用心灵画画－我读古丽•斯坦
何艳
一只手，一把琴，一本掀开的书，一个隐约的头像，一件古代的宽袍……记忆中的印象，落在斑驳的淡黄底色上，再逐渐下沉下沉，直至进入冥想的境界。
借助这些头脑中瞬间闪过的符号与片断，她究竟要表达些什么呢？所有艺术都是情感的外化，绘画就是为了抓住和延长那瞬时的灵感与激情吧！
古丽创作绘画作品，同时还写诗，渴望用不同的艺术形式来更丰满、更立体、更充分地表达自己内心的东西。
她酷爱音乐。既钟情于海顿、巴赫等古典音乐大师，同时又迷恋爵士乐的自由不羁。这些都符合她的天性。在她的画里，既有优雅、质朴的古典韵味，又富含即兴创作的灵感和随意。整体看来，古丽的绘画作品，尤其是”记忆的性质”一组，给人感觉是异常的轻盈、清淡，洋溢着朦胧的梦幻气息以及隐隐约约的异国情怀。
出生在天山脚下美丽的新疆，古丽生的血液里就流淌着少数民族自由奔放的因子。在那片孕育舞蹈音乐和壮美自然的土地上，古丽好比一朵备受造物主恩宠的鲜花，她女性天生的灵气与美感得以完好保存和尽情生长。
艺术家是天生的。古丽本身即是大自然艺术化的杰作。她自己敏感于这种外在与内在的美，因此天生的使命就是努力表达和释放这些美。
读古丽的诗，感受得到她内心的梦幻，灵魂的自由，及对美执著的追求；看她的画，心变得很静很静，静得仿佛能听见画家作画时流淌在她心底的音乐。
追求艺术永无止境，艺术家最可贵的品质就是内心的真诚。古丽说，好的艺术需要时间的沉淀，需要情智的积累。我相信，她将穷一生探索艺术与灵魂的美。风格并不重要，任何风格都是暂时的，能创作才永远快乐。

Painting by Heart
My Impression of Gulistan
He Yan
A hand, a violin, an open book, a dim head portrait, an archaic gown—traces of memories, put against light-yellow dappled grounding, gradually become objects for her meditation.
Symbols and episodes flash in Gulistan’s mind. What, therefore, does she want to express with them? The fact is that all arts are to deliver the artists’ emotion. As for painting, it is probably the way for the artist to grip and prolong the moment when she is inspired and passionate.
An oil painter and poet, Gulistan desires to vividly show her inner world to the public through her various arts.
Gulistan is passionate about music. She has fallen in love with many masters of classical music, such as Haydn and Bach. The unruliness in Jazz is also fascinating to her. All these accord with her nature. Her paintings are tinged with classical elegance and modesty. However, she achieves this with inspirations at will. Lightness and simplicity are sensed in all of Gulistan’s paintings—in The Essence of Memory this is especially the case, in which a dreamy air and exotic feelings permeate.
Born in Xinjiang, a beautiful place at the foot of Tianshan Mountain where dance and music flourish, Gulistan was imbued with a forthright and uninhibited nature. The innate intelligence and beauty within her makes one feel that she is like a well-nourished flower favored by the Creator.
The talents of such an artist are inborn. Gulistan herself is the masterpiece of nature. Sensitive to inner and outer beauty, she is commissioned to express and release such beauty.
In reading her poems, one can feel Gulistan’s cherished dreams, a free soul and persistent pursuit of beauty; while appreciating her paintings, one feels calm. All are so peaceful that the soundless music in the artist’s heart can be heard.
The pursuit of art is endless. The noblest character of artists is but their sincerity to art. Gulistan believes that good art requires a long time, wisdom and passion. I believe that she will devote her whole life to search for the beauty of art and soul. Since style is temporal, the artist will be happy forever with creation.
