An exhibition highlighting Latin America and Caribbean art is underway at the China World Art Museum in Beijing. The works on display offer Chinese visitors a chance to explore the beauty of contemporary art of the region. 

Forty-eight works – paintings, sculptures and installations – are on display at "Sharing the Beauty: Latin America and Caribbean Art Exhibition."

The four artists come from Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico and Uruguay. The diverse features of the pieces reflect different cultural backgrounds. 

Li Dominguez Fong is a Cuban artist of Chinese descent. His works highlight the artistic style of Neo-expressionism, and emphasize emotional surge and improvisation in the painting process. 

He said: "This painting is a big one, it's a landscape painting about my country Cuba. In this case, I work with oil canvas and traditional paper." 

Mexican artist Plinio Avila makes the best of the artistic illustration of French classicism in landscape paintings, which originated with unknown Chinese painters and sold on the French market to decorate houses. 

The Mexican artist added: "I found it beautiful conceptually that these paintings were made by Chinese painters many years ago, and then they travel to Paris, where I found them and bought them. And then they travel to Mexico, where I paint on top of them. When I was invited to propose project for this exhibition, I thought it would be the most beautiful thing to bring these paintings back to China." 

Man Yu is from Costa Rica. She depicts the indescribable subtlety of women's inner world. 

And Uruguayan artist Gustavo Fernandez, who draws inspiration from real life, assembles and combines the trivial objects of daily life into installations. 

The exhibition is part of the fifth session of the "Latin American Art Season." It offers a platform for international cultural exchanges and helps Chinese viewers get a close-up view of the region's art.
