Why I Love Lifted by Wind, High above Clouds

Liuli Crystal Art

Every time when someone ask me “If there is only one artwork you can choose, which is your favorite?” Without hesitation I will reply “Wow that’s easy, this beautiful Phoenix Lifted by Wind High Above Clouds”.

I have been with LIULI family for over 10 years and this artwork always strike a chord with me. The color and details are captivating; from the front, embedded feathers forms a beautiful 3D polished curve and the back of the artwork is a surprise -visually stunning. The intricate carving of tiny feathers converging into a splendor of waves is eye-catching.

The phoenix is a symbol of a queen, beauty, grace and never-ending cycle. Our Artist Loretta, who was a former renowned actress creates the phoenix to look like a performance on stage. The slightly curved neck is beckoning one to “Look at me, look at my beauty and elegance.” Customers who purchased / will purchase this artwork from me are Beautiful Queens. It reminded me of a beloved customer who had recently deceased, she loved colorful artworks. Her first reaction when she saw this artwork was the same as I did 10 years ago.

Why I Love Red Radiance

Orchids are my favorite flowers because they mean the arrival of happiness. The artist design a concave space to carry beautiful, small but significant things in life. What’s very special is the highlight of red liuli bead at the center that symbolizes the confluence of all happiness. While red color means auspiciousness in Asian culture, I feel this rounded and red bead carries my wish for all beautiful things in life. I feel warmth and happiness in this piece.

Every detail in this artwork is filled with sincerity and meticulousness. It’s also a practice of LIULI’s mission of ”To continuously create art for the good of the heart”.

Why I Love Only With Compassion

Liuli Crystal Art

Guan-yin is very peaceful and one could feel the light shining outwards by closely looking at it. I’m also in awe when I discover the inscription of The Great Compassion Mantra on the back of the artwork. It makes it whole. It is very moved to know that artist Loretta H. Yang’s persistence in sculpturing Guan-yin and her mission to create the largest liuli Guan-yin ”Wish of the Lifetime”. I like to appreciate all kinds of Guan-yin designs because each of them carries different stories, and every sculpture is unique because of its creator. I believe the artist is kind and benevolent so that she could create a Guan-yin with this compassionate and peaceful face and aura. It is a realization of LIULI’s motto "To Continuously Create Art for the Good of the Heart".

Why I Love Golden Jade Joy

Liuli Crystal Art

The emerald green color and the hand-made gold foil elevate the touch of opulence. This artwork consists of two parts: the goldfish on the top part is made by pate de verre, and the bottom is a treasure vase made by blowing glass. Contrast in still and movement, two parts jointly create a new dynamic. The treasure vase could be used to keep coins which symbolizes fortune, or to carry pieces with precious memories. No matter what is in the treasure vase, it is unique to you. So, let the treasure vase be the carrier of all beautiful things in life.

Why I Love A Free and Idle Heart

Liuli Crystal Art

I always like this Guanyin statue. The Guanyin is smiling and gives me a carefree feeling. Looking at the design of the rising cloud, it makes me feel like getting away from the pressure of life, and providing a room to breathe and rest. The texture and pattern on Buddha's clothes seamlessly merge with the cloud on the base which creates a unifying peacefulness. Like the rising and floating clouds, our troubles went away and become carefree.

Why I Love Indomitable Heart

This is a brilliantly designed piece of world-wide known Chinese zodiac as a subject matter portraying unity.

The Chinese zodiac is a repeating cycle of 12 years and each year is represented by an animal and its unique characteristics. The artist successfully articulated all different zodiacs in concrete detail. It is joyful to look at them to see how they are diverse in shape as we, people are individually different, and yet they are lined up in order to work in partnership.

They are holding each other and their facial expressions illustrate how hard they are putting their efforts to get the radish out. They are delivering a common goal to achieve together and it is for sure that being united will be paid off and bring a fruitful result, Good Fortune.

Why I Love The Splendor of Phoenix

Liuli Crystal Art

The splendor of Phoenix is well known for its eternal life. A bird comes back to life from the ashes, looks elegant but strong as she is sitting on the rising Sun, at a glorious dawn. As confident as the king of the birds can be, it symbolizes a confident lady, longevity, and good feng shui.

Why I Love Song of the Morning Flower

Liuli Crystal Art

Hibiscus, also known as the big red flower, is the national flower of Malaysia. I have seen various colors of hibiscus in its natural color, but I have never seen a blue one. Liuli hibiscus satisfies this imagination. In the “Song of the Morning Flower” there are two flowers, the large one is in full bloom, as if it’s enjoying the most glorious moments of life and calmly welcoming the withering of life. The other small one, which looks like the younger generation to me, is appreciating the older generation’s splendor,learning quietly, and waiting for the right timing and opportunity to step onto the main stage. This artwork is like the song of the circle of life, one generation after another.

It reminds us that it's spring time. Two siskin birds sitting on a persimmon’s branch signifying that this is a joyful time, and the spring is coming with fortune. Two siskin birds are sociable and active, even acrobatic. They sing throughout the year, twitter and trill. This is a very romantic artwork, and is perfect for courtship or wedding anniversary.

Why I Love Living In Peace

Liuli Crystal Art

Urban life is very stressful, and most of us have to take on different challenges every day. This artwork can be displayed on the desk in the office. When we feel anxious, we may spin the prayer wheel, the action signifying sending troubles away. Not only in the office, I would suggest that this artwork can also be placed at the entrance of the house, when off to work, spin once as reciting the sutra and praying for everything goes well all day long with safety and auspiciousness. On the other hand, this blessing can also be extended to family and friends. Hope they are healthy and happy.

Why I Love Joy Heralds Spring

Liuli Crystal Art

At first glance, I feel the vitality of the artwork strongly because the shape of this artwork is attracted by the exaggerated and vivid leaves. A pair of orange at the bottom symbolizes companionship. A Chinese character "Ji 吉" means great auspiciousness. The detailed peonies pattern on fruits and leaves represents the richness and gorgeous beauty. The peony pattern also echoes the first visual impression of LIULI. It is a signature yet fresh design in LIULI.

Before joining the team, I just simply look at Liuli artworks and admire them from afar. But it is a dream come true to be part of the team. This is a great opportunity for me to have deeper understanding of the arduous production and history of creation of LIULI. Each artwork is more meaningful to me now.


Why I Love Prosperous Heart, Prosperous World

Liuli Crystal Art

In Singapore where I am originally from, peonies are not often seen. The climate in SouthEast Asia makes it difficult to grow. When I moved to the US, I was awed by different types of peonies available.

Going to the florist each time is a treat to my eyes, the full bloom of the peonies is simply breath-taking, every petal is full of splendor, riches and color. It looks so fluffy and contented.

Peonies play an important part to us - the queen of all flowers, our packaging, screens, hand painted walls in the gallery to collection by The Corning Museum of Glass. It represents Liuli.

The reason why I like this artwork is even though it’s small, the craftsmanship of the flower is superb. This palm size artwork glows and reflects when it’s raised towards sunlight. It holds a special meaning to me, the little prosperous peony is beauty from within.

Why I Love Imminent Spring Dance

Liuli Crystal Art

Whether it is the artistic beauty of the design or the superb craftsmanship, it is a representation of LIULI’s signature creation. I was born in October, so maybe it’s the reason why I like orchids. The artwork is beautiful and elegant, and represents independence in the world. People often use the orchid to describe beautiful temperament for ladies. The poets across generations and dynasties all praised the orchids for their elegance and purity. In this creation, the petals’ color is set accurately. All colors are distinct in lifelike look. It always reminds me of one scene from a poem: “Orchid is the king of flowers, its fragrance is in the breeze".

Why I Love Imminent Spring Dance

Liuli Crystal Art

During this pandemic, I clearly sense that there are so many uncontrollable things in the world, and in life. While some things are frustrating, and some are exciting, we started to reflect “How is my life ? What can I do? In this dark moment, I also realize that everyone’s choice is connected, as the description of the artwork "Imminent Spring Dance”

“A hint of fragrance

Thaws

The stark northern wind.

A gentleman’s intent

Excellence upheld.”

The fragrance of the flower might disappear in the air some time, but the spirit stays. If we could unite and be the mainstay of our times, the spirit will carry far and influence more. Be the best of ourselves at all times, we will be resilient and stand upright in adversity. Spring and hope are not far away. Be strong for tomorrow!

Why I Love Swim Toward Freedom

Liuli Crystal Art

This is relatively smaller in size, however, it uses symmetrical designs to mimic real water reflections. Just like Chinese philosopher Lao Zhi once said, “The highest good is like water. The Great virtue embrace all .” The vast sea is like the boundless sky, and the fish swimming freely and firmly within. I like to watch this fish looking at oneself and the ripple, it’s natural and beautiful. This art piece is an encouragement for me. It speaks to me in a clear voice: be brave, be clear to oneself, and move forward with persistence and courage.

Why I Love Heavenly Pine

Liuli Crystal Art

It is a poetic , gently calm, and yet upright creation.

It reminds of an evergreen pine tree in a bold trunk standing firmly toward the sky on a rocky soil where winter wind blows from nature. It doesn’t matter whether it is cold or snowing, its beauty lasts all year long with soothing scent and wide-spread needles show its vitality. This peaceful landscape scene is brought inside by our artist in the form of Ruyi.

Ruyi literally means “as you wish” and a ceremonial scepter symbolizing power and good fortune. Combining Ruyi & evergreen pine trees in one design greatly represents the meaning of longevity and auspiciousness, and it makes me longing to give it to my loved ones.

Why I Love Heavenly Pine

Liuli Crystal Art

LIULI’s highly sophisticated use of pâte de verre showcases the detail of pine needles and branches and a base that resembles the surface of a rock. The tree emerges from the stone as a symbol of fortitude. The green pine and transparent rock visually conveys a noble brightness. The pine is an evergreen.

The liuli pine extends in a lush expanse to symbolize vitality and auspiciousness. It is the wish for longevity, peace and health.

Why I Love Heavenly Pine

Liuli Crystal Art

This artwork is based on the traditional Chinese symbol—“Ruyi". It is designed with evergreen pine trees that symbolizes longevity and strength. I like its simple design that is full of tranquility and strength.

The questions I am often asked by customers are: “What is Ruyi? Why is it always a long length ?”

Read More...

In fact, in earlier days in Asia, it used to be the scratching stick that was used to scratch the itchiness on the back during the Chinese Warring States Period. It has a folk name called “Without Asking for Others”. Since the stick was introduced in the emperor Palace, there were significant changes in the usage. Royal family kept its meaning but removed its practicality, and used it as a symbol of auspiciousness and interior decorative objects.

From the historical records, we can see that the nobles of the palace often use it as a personal collection or as a gift. When the emperor is enthroned, at the wedding or the emperor's birthday, the civil and military officials prefer to choose Ruyi as a gift because it represents so many good meanings. Just as its original name “Without Asking for Others”, we take control of our own lives, and wish that everything goes well and live a life of good fortune from the symbolism of Ruyi.

The Liuli artists use the material of crystal glaze to make various designs and extend this traditional Chinese symbol. I personally think that if it is viewed from the perspective of the history of Chinese art, it really means a lot.

I sometimes like to stand in front of this artwork to enjoy the feeling of tranquility. Thinking about our artists’ inspiration based on these Chinese history, and knowing that they have superb designs to give "Ruyi" more new look-styles in nowadays, I only want to say: “It’s stunning!”

Why I Love Arising Through Contentment

Liuli Crystal Art

Out of the designs from the series A Chinese LIULI Flower, Arising Through Contentment captures my heart. The concept of this series is to represent the cycle of life. When a flower is fully bloomed, it represents the most beautiful moment of time and our Artist has successfully used pate de verre to capture the scene. The flowing dancing petals from Iris reminds me of ups and down in life's journey, we have to learn, deal with different situations to eventually emerge to be wise and free. Iris symbolizes rainbow or light, it gives hope to everyone who looks towards clarity. Purple is one of my favorite colors, the fusion of different shades on each petal makes the artwork more alive. The sharp edges of the leaf blending into the softness of flowers creates a perfect symphony. Looking at this artwork always makes me feel care-free and happy, feel like dancing along the flower and life.

Why I Love Golden Gourds of Fortune

Liuli Crystal Art

This is a prosperous & blessing piece. The gourd had traditionally been used to carry medicine signifying good health & longevity and it resembles number “8” which is auspicious and good luck.

Based on the auspicious fundamentals, we can add decorative aspects to it for interior design elements. It has plenty of bowl space to put fresh fruits, different sweets such as candies, chocolates or cookies inside, even plastic gold coins to maximize auspicious meaning. Or it can be used as a creative candle holder plate for flowing tealight candles with water.

As imaging it on a coffee table or kitchen counter at home, it may give us a moment of wishing for good health. Being healthy is the essence of prosperity & happiness.

Why I Love Tomorrow is Mine

Liuli Crystal Art

This artwork is one of the collection series of "Ascending Qi Gives Rise To Earthly Harmony ". The white radish is portrayed in a very simple and natural look itself without adding too many other design elements.

At the beginning, this artwork attracted my attention because I was so surprised that radish is very ordinary to be found anytime in the market, now it could be the art subject.

However, when I knew that Liuli artists created this series of artworks, their inspiration behind them came from the very famous classic book I-Ching left by Chinese ancestors.

Read More...

As we know that the book I-Ching is full of the philosophical wisdom from Chinese ancestors, so it is also regarded as the top-one among those related books. It may seem esoteric, but in a nutshell, it is a book that comprehensively covers astronomy, geography, and humanity. The book can teach us how to face nature, how to get along with people, and how to gather the Qi in order to get a harmonious feng shui.

When I knew that the artist actually used the profound wisdom of the Chinese people as the source of inspiration for art creation, I felt so meaningful and appreciated.

While enjoying this series of artworks, we can deeply think again: when nature breeds the endless power, how can humans face nature with the Qi which are from all directions and how to make them in a smooth flow in order to grasp the good luck?

To sum up, this artwork looks natural and simple. On the contrary, the title of the artwork is full of encouraging power. I am very touched.
