Yang emphasized the importance of sharing Chinese stories through art, aiming to build a bridge between cultures. “Each LIULI piece carries a core message of love. Every creation is unique, with its own story to tell. Each work comes with a dedicated poem, telling its story, imparting blessings, and establishing a connection between the artist and the viewer,“ Yang explained.
“We hope to showcase the charm of Chinese art and help foreign audiences understand Chinese culture through the poems and narratives behind each artwork,“ she added.
Founded in 1987 and expanding into the U.S. market in 1999, LIULI Crystal Art has grown from a modest workshop into one of Asia's leading creators of crystal art.
Yang said the company has developed strong partnerships with prominent American museums and galleries. “Through collaborative exhibitions and cultural exchanges, LIULI Crystal Art is committed to sharing the values of Chinese culture and fostering meaningful dialogue between East and West.“
