True art transcends time, finding new resonance in every era.
A century ago, Xu Beihong captured the spirit of his time through ink painting. Blending Western realism with the expressive freedom of traditional Chinese brushwork, he helped usher in a new era of modern Chinese art.
A century later, SWIKY Jewellery enters into an artistic dialogue with his legacy through the artistry of gold and fire.
With gold as its medium and the spirit of ink as its inspiration, the brand opens a new chapter in Chinese aesthetics.
In 2025, SWIKY Jewellery entered into a partnership with the Xu Beihong Culture and Art Centre, launching a jewellery collaboration inspired by the master's artistic legacy.
Drawing on Xu Beihong's original masterpieces, the brand presents The Spirit of Ink, Reborn in Gold: The Xu Beihong Art Collection, a collection of exceptional creations that brings his artistic vision to life in contemporary jewellery.
Galloping horses alive with strength, kapok blossoms blazing like torches, and auspicious magpies heralding spring — these vivid images from the master's paintings are transformed into exquisite works of gold, allowing his art to step beyond the painted page.
Once captured in ink, these timeless subjects take on new life as contemporary treasures to be worn, cherished and passed down through generations.
