Becoming a Rich Man from Siberia

Chapter 231: Ye Feng's Amazing Artistic Accomplishment!

The old man's steps were very steady, and he was more than 1.9 meters tall.

Ye Feng himself was now 1.8 meters tall, but he still felt a little oppressive looking at him.

The old man looked quite old, with a dry face, but his eyes were sharp.

Ye Feng couldn't help but think of the black and white portrait of Leo Tolstoy in the elementary school textbook.

These great Russian writers looked very similar in their old age with big beards.

The two came to Ye Feng together, and Agatha spoke first:

"Boss, this is the great Luosha sculpture artist Master Kulvich!"

Then he introduced Kulvich:

"Master, this is our boss, Mr. Ye Feng!"

Kulvichlang said with a smile:

"Haha, it's true that heroes emerge from youth. I didn't expect Mr. Ye Feng to be so young. He must be in his early twenties, right?"

Ye Feng said politely:

"Master, thank you for your praise. I am 25 years old this year, not young anymore. There are many great writers in ancient China who were famous at my age!"

Kulvich waved his hand and said:

"That's your modesty. I heard Nicholas say that you commented on his work. I can't say it better than you do. I just may have done more than you did and gained a little more experience."

"Talented people are hard to come by when it comes to sculpture. When I first heard Nikola talk about you, I wanted to meet you very much. Today I finally meet you. Let's find a place to chat!"

Ye Feng didn't know that he was so highly regarded in Kulvich. He spoke modestly, but his eyes drifted to Nicholas.

He didn't know what kind of magic potion this man had given Master Kulvich.

Nicholas was calm and just kept laughing.

Several people came to a work area behind the exhibition hall. There were not many people in it, so they found a secluded table and sat down to chat.

It was the first time for Anna and Eva to sit at the same table with such a big shot in the art field. They both felt a little novel.

As the pride of the people of Luosha, the name of Master Kulvich was also familiar to them.

After all, the market price of sculptures has always been tepid, but the works of this master have repeatedly been sold at sky-high prices, and his reputation at home and abroad is far-reaching, which can be called a miracle.

How to say it, Master Kulvich's status in Luosha is similar to that of Mr. Qi Baishi in our China.

Now any Chinese who has a painting by Mr. Qi Baishi will instantly become rich.

Kulvich sat down and asked curiously:

"Mr. Ye Feng, I know that Nikola was living on your farm, but I don’t know why you took them in at that time?"

"According to Nicholas, their future was not so bright at that time, and their works were not as profound and grand as they are now."

Ye Feng said:

"Isn't it true that art is all about inspiration? I have always been very interested in works of art, whether it is literature, calligraphy, painting, or sculpture."

"So when I saw Nicola's work, I felt a little bit of spiritual energy from it, so I thought if I could give them a chance, they would be transformed."

"As you can see, I seem to have won the bet. I am definitely not the first one to invest in artists, but I am definitely the luckiest one, right?"

Kulvich looked at Ye Feng sharply for a long time, and suddenly asked:

"I wonder how Mr. Ye expresses his inspiration?"

Ye Feng smiled very casually and said:

"Master Kulvich wants to test my artistic accomplishment? Then let me tell you about it."

"Let’s take the works outside the exhibition hall as an example!"

"The work that Nicola exhibited outside is called"Nestling". From the perspective of technique alone, it is impeccable, with delicate knife skills, smooth lines, and vivid body movements."

"The work is highly completed, but the core of the work is a bit empty"

"Two people snuggled together and hugged each other, but it was just a hug, without any deeper feelings of snuggling."

"So the work is just a rigid statue."

"Your work"Sinking" is more like"Nestling" to me. Two girls are tightly entangled together. Although they are rushing upwards among the messy dead branches, one is happy and the other is sad. It is obvious that they perfectly express their respective emotions."

"As a result, you can't tell exactly which of the two girls is sinking, but it seems that both of them are sinking."

"The dead branches and outstretched arms perfectly show their desire to survive, but in the lower part of the sculpture, the two people are tightly cuddled together."

"I'm sorry, I can't describe the emotions I feel in words. The tension and expressiveness of this sculpture are far beyond the reach of Nicola's earlier works!"

"This is what I call inspiration!"

After Ye Feng finished speaking, everyone was staring at Ye Feng closely. Eva looked at the Chinese man in front of her. She didn't expect Ye Feng to be able to analyze the master's work so thoroughly!

Is this the artistic accomplishment that the mediocre coder who appeared in the intelligence can show?

She always thought that a nouveau riche coder was not worthy of Anna, but she didn't expect Ye Feng to shock her so much!

And Anna's eyes were shining. She had long known that Ye Feng was a person with a rich heart. She knew it from"Anna Karenina" and"Moscow Evening".

Master Kulvich looked at Ye Feng for a while, and then said:

"Mr. Ye, although you are only in your twenties and I am seventy-eight years old, I still can't see through you!"

"I have to admit that you have a good eye. Nicola's work is my favorite in recent years.���Few sculptors have his expression and delicacy."

"I have seen his early works. He was unable to express this emotion due to life reasons, but his work half a year ago had already begun to express this emotion!"

"And his assistant Agata injected Nicholas with delicate emotions."

"I thank you on behalf of our sculpture community. Thank you for preserving the spark of new life for our sculpture community."

Ye Feng waved his hand modestly and said:

"Don't say that. I just happened to meet him by chance. An artist as talented as Nicholas will definitely become famous, and I am actually the lucky one. I just met him before he became famous."

Kulvich looked at Ye Feng and nodded suddenly. His eyes had changed from scrutiny to appreciation:

"Very good, it is rare for you to be so humble despite having achieved such success at your age. In that case, I’ll give you the sculpture of"Sinking" outside!"

"Consider it a greeting gift from an old man like me!"
