Abstract

Chinese traditional elements are the external manifestation of Chinese traditional culture. They are rooted in ancient history and people's daily life, and have nationality and inheritance. Traditional Chinese elements are used in contemporary oil paintings, such as traditional patterns, patterns, ethnic totems, and traditional art symbols. The use of oil painting to perform traditional art is extremely challenging and has great possibilities. Such an application is not only a rich form of art, but also a display of national self-confidence, reflecting the profoundness of Chinese culture. In the development of contemporary art, I hope to find an art model suiTable for China's current situation and form the oil painting language of the nation. At the same time, we must establish correct aesthetic values of contemporary art, follow artistic rules and laws, draw nutrients from traditional culture, and transform oil paintings. Breaking through the minds and cultures of the West, the traditional cultural elements unique to the nation are used to show the charm of oil paintings and create better works of art with democratic characteristics.
