劉鳳仙女士，曾在十余個藝術組織兼榮譽主席、名譽院長、榮譽館長、副主席、院士、顧問、研究員、客座教授、公益大使，藝術使節，理事等職務。為在聯合國召開的“中美品牌大會”唯一命名的知名國禮畫家。她多次在國內外舉辦個人展覽，多次參加全國及國際性書畫大展大賽，并屢獲大獎，曾多次獲特等獎、金獎、銀獎、二等獎、優秀獎、終身成就獎，特別榮譽獎、特殊貢獻獎、功勛獎，最佳創作獎。曾獲聯合國組織的世界和平藝術大賽金獎；莫奈金獎；中韓兩國聯誼大筆會金獎；海峽兩岸書畫大賽金獎。毛體書法曾獲特等獎，優秀獎等一百多個獎項和榮譽。因成績卓著，被授予“國寶級藝術家”，“影響世界的十大金牌藝術家”，“世界風向標藝術家”，“十館藏極藝術家”，“珍藏極藝術家”，“典藏級藝術家”，“國家級軟黃金藝術家”，“當代極具收藏價值的藝術家”，“書畫藝術大師”，“東方才女’‘，“當代書畫界新領軍人物”，“中國當代書畫大家”，“優秀人民藝術家”等稱號。作品輯入《世界名人錄》、《一代名家》、《二十世紀著名書畫家》、《中國書畫名家教授大辭典》、《中國美術史》、《中國美術教育年鑒百年》、《中國近現代名家書畫典籍綜合卷》、《共和國藝術寶鑒》、《中國九大殿堂級藝術家》、《中國當代書畫大家》、《中國實力派畫家》、《畫梅巨匠》、《雄踞中國藝壇藝術家》、《藝壇名家》等二百余部典集與辭書。著有《劉鳳仙書畫藝術》、《劉鳳仙畫集》、《劉鳳仙國畫欣賞》、《書畫藝術家劉鳳仙獻禮建黨100周年》、《圣儒-國畫名家劉鳳仙藝術畫集》、《著名書畫藝術家劉鳳仙國畫專輯》｛光盤｝、《中國文化名家專題郵票）、《劉鳳仙詩百首》、《劉鳳仙詩詞歌賦、格言錄》等。其作品深受國家領導人、企業界、藝術界、博物院、國內外朋友及廣大書畫愛好者的青睞與收藏。因德藝雙馨，成為深受人民歡迎和愛戴的藝術家。

劉鳳仙筆下之梅花，氣韻生動，墨法自然，凌霜傲雪，氣勢磅礴，枝干清癯，蒼勁嶙峋。壽桃，飽滿圓潤，枝繁葉茂，形神兼備，栩栩如生，獨家創作，堪稱一絕。她的這兩類畫作行筆豪放恣縱，用墨清新飄逸、瀟灑淋漓，飄溢著冷冽的清香，蘊含著飽滿的汁水，線條婀娜多姿，枝干凝重厚實，她的其他作品也頗見功力，正因為如此，常常被人們稱為‘女中豪杰’。

劉鳳仙創作，師古而不泥古，繼承不照搬，而是緊緊抓住自然界動植物與人們生活、思想情感的某種聯系給與強化表現。著重神、魂、韻的點畫與描寫，注意美與善的觀念表達。用“移生動質"傳達花鳥的生命力與其各不相同的特性，強調其“奪造化而移精神遐想"的怡情作用。通過對花鳥畫的創作來表達自己的志趣、情操與精神生活，表達內在的思想與追求，緣物寄情，托物言志。

墨是中國傳統書畫中的主要元素，濃、重、淡、清、焦，為運墨五色，墨與色的完美結合是每位畫家孜孜以求的至高境界。但行筆用墨是繪畫藝術的皮肉，而筆中的勁力卻是畫中的風骨和氣韻。劉風仙結合自己的審美情趣大膽創新，不斷嘗試，使作品中的形貌、骨法、質地、光暗及情態神韻逐步形成了自己的風格。氣勢磅礴而不失小巧細膩，剛勁老辣而不失自然清新，這正是她繪畫作品的寫照。

劉鳳仙創作，意存筆先，畫盡意在，豪放不顯張揚，意境深遠而不失恬淡清新，其梅花或艷如朝霞或白似瑞雪；壽桃或嬌艷欲滴或靈秀芬芳，陣陣暗香仿佛躍出紙面，撲面而來，巧妙的將自然靈性點染畫中，好似呼喚出了中國千年文化底蘊的深沉回聲，詮釋了中華民族古老藝術的深刻內涵。

劉鳳仙的作品，由于以詩入畫、以書法入畫、以學養入畫，創作中在達意抒情和骨法用筆、線條運行上能夠緊密的結合，外師造化，中得心源，形成了顯著的藝術特征。

繪畫作品中的詩文跋語往往代表作品主人的心聲。一句好詩，能表現出作者的內涵和學養。一句好詩，亦能起到畫龍點睛的作用。劉鳳仙作品中的詩句布局巧妙，胸懷天地，在構圖上，突出主體，講求布局中的虛實對比與顧盼呼應，把發揮畫意的詩歌題句，用與畫風相協調的書法在適當的位置書寫出來，輔以印章，成為一種以畫為主的綜合性書畫藝術作品，留白空間的疏、密、聚、散；花、果、鳥、葉的柔嫩靈活，老干邊緣的毛、澀質感，無不顯示其作品的巧奪天工。

Liu Fengxian, a renowned Chinese artist, was born in 1942. She developed a passion for art from childhood and served as an art teacher for many years. Under the guidance of Master Huang Zhou, she dedicated decades to studying painting theories and techniques with relentless practice, specializing in flower-and-bird paintings while excelling particularly in plum blossoms and longevity peaches.

Ms.Liu Fengxian has held honorary positions including chairperson, honorary dean, honorary curator, vice-chairperson, academician, consultant, researcher, guest professor, public ambassador, art envoy, and council member in over a dozen art organizations. She was the only named national gift painter at the "China-US Brand Conference" held by the United Nations. Having exhibited solo exhibitions multiple times both domestically and internationally, she has participated in numerous national and international calligraphy and painting competitions, winning prestigious awards including Grand Prize, Gold Award, Silver Award, Second Prize, Excellence Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Special Honor Award, Special Contribution Award, Merit Award, and Best Creation Award.

His works are highly favored and collected by national leaders, business elites, art professionals, museums, international friends, and calligraphy enthusiasts. Due to his moral integrity and artistic excellence, he has become an artist deeply loved and respected by the people. In Liu Fengxian’s brushwork, the plum blossoms are vivid and dynamic, with natural ink techniques that portray them as frost-defying and snow-proud, majestic in momentum, with slender branches and rugged, vigorous forms. The longevity peaches are plump and round, lush and verdant, embodying both form and spirit with lifelike vitality—a unique creation that stands unparalleled. Her works in these two categories feature bold and unrestrained brushstrokes, fresh and ethereal ink application, and graceful, flowing lines exuding a crisp fragrance while containing abundant moisture. The graceful yet varied lines and substantial, weighty branches demonstrate her exceptional skill. This is why she is often hailed as a’ heroine among women. ’Liu Fengxian’s creative practice respects tradition without being bound by it, inheriting without replicating, but instead emphasizing the connections between nature’s flora fauna and human life and emotions through intensified expression. She focuses on capturing the essence, soul, and rhythm of brushwork and descriptions, paying attention to the conceptual expression of beauty and goodness. Using the technique of’ transferring vitality and substance, ’she conveys the vitality and distinct characteristics of flowers and birds, emphasizing their role in’ capturing the essence of creation and inspiring spiritual contemplation.’ Through her floral and avian paintings, she expresses personal aspirations, moral integrity, and spiritual life, conveying inner thoughts and pursuits while embedding emotions in objects and articulating ideals through symbolism. Ink, a primary element in traditional Chinese painting, encompasses five shades—thick, heavy, light, clear, and scorched—representing the perfect integration of ink and color, which every painter strives to achieve. However, while brushwork and ink application form the physical foundation of painting art, the strength within the brush constitutes its spiritual essence and artistic vigor. Liu Fengxian boldly innovates and experiments with her aesthetic sensibilities, gradually developing her own style characterized by grandeur yet delicate subtlety, robustness yet natural freshness—this perfectly encapsulates her artistic vision. Liu Fengxian’s creations embody the principle of "conception precedes brushwork" and "meaning lingers beyond the canvas." Her bold yet restrained style conveys profound artistic conception without losing its serene freshness. Her plum blossoms range from crimson as morning clouds to snow-white as auspicious snow; her longevity peaches alternate between dewy tenderness and ethereal fragrance, their subtle aroma leaping off the paper like a breeze. Through skillful integration of natural spirituality into her paintings, she evokes the deep resonance of China’s millennia-old cultural heritage, interpreting the profound essence of ancient Chinese art. Liu Fengxian’s works, infused with poetic inspiration, calligraphic techniques, and scholarly cultivation, demonstrate a seamless fusion of expressive intent, brushwork principles, and linear composition. Drawing from nature while seeking inner inspiration, her creations exhibit distinctive artistic characteristics. The inscriptions in her paintings often express the artist’s inner voice. A well-crafted verse can reveal an author’s depth of thought and scholarly cultivation, serving as the finishing touch to a masterpiece. The poetic inscriptions in Liu Fengxian’s works demonstrate ingenious composition and cosmic vision. In her compositions, she emphasizes the main subject while balancing spatial contrasts and visual dialogues. She skillfully integrates poetic inscriptions that enhance the painting’s artistic expression with calligraphic elements harmonizing with the style, complemented by seals to form a comprehensive art form. The sparse, dense, clustered, and scattered blank spaces, the delicate vitality of flowers, fruits, birds, and leaves, and the textured edges of aged branches all demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship of her creations.

Viewing Liu Fengxian’s Hundred-Meter Color Plum Scroll: This scroll measures 100 meters in length and 1 meter in width. At the beginning, inscribed by Mr.Lei Zhengmin, former chairman of the China Artists Association, is the phrase "Plum Forest Spring Comes Early". Below this is Liu Fengxian’s running script of Mao Zedong’s poem "Praising Plum Blossoms", followed by her self-composed "Ode to Plum Blossoms". The central section depicts the plum forest scenery in six colors, concluding with a self-composed ode to plum blossoms. The scroll’s tail bears comments by calligrapher Xian Shi. With its perfect structure and exquisite craftsmanship, this is a masterpiece unparalleled in the world. The plum blossoms under Liu Fengxian’s brush exude vibrant vitality and natural ink techniques, standing tall against frost and snow with majestic momentum. Their branches are slender yet ruggedly vigorous, while bold brushstrokes create graceful lines. The ink application is fresh and ethereal, with unrestrained and fluid strokes that surpass all others. The piercing fragrance seems to waft through the air, leaving viewers in awe and unanimous admiration. This scroll truly stands as an eternal marvel, a supreme masterpiece with immeasurable potential for appreciation. After viewing the painting, Zhang Wenxiang, chairman of the Party Construction Academy, wrote this heartfelt reflection.
