Chen Zhifo (1896-1962), born in Yuyao, Zhejiang, is a modern art educator, arts and crafts artist, and painter.


Chen Zhifo is a "late bloomer" painter, who started to work on fine-brush flower and bird paintings at the age of 40. He is proficient in the use of traditional Chinese painting techniques, as well as his profound Western painting skills and rich pattern design experience, so he can integrate the strengths of many. Whether his painting style is lonely and indifferent before liberation or bright and strong after liberation, it is not a direct narration, but a monologue of humanity in the poetic context, and a portrait of a noble soul.


In general, his paintings express the metaphor of auspiciousness and peace. He takes the natural tradition as his teacher, inherits the excellent traditional painting techniques of our country, and widely absorbs the strengths of ancient painters, especially the essence of flower and bird paintings since the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, forming his own unique, elegant and decorative artistic style.
