Chinese Artist Zhuang Mengdie Selected for the AFD International Art Awards: "A Gaze into Millennia of Aesthetics"

在当今全球化的艺术浪潮中，文化的交流与碰撞催生了无数创意的火花。一位来自中国的新锐艺术家，正以她跨时空对话的独特美学视角和对中华优秀传统文化深厚底蕴的理解，在国际艺术舞台上掀起一阵东方美学的风暴。她就是庄梦蝶，其作品成功入选 AFD 国际艺术奖（The Art Fund Dubai Awards），为中国当代艺术在国际上的传播注入新的活力。

In the current wave of the globalization of art, the exchange and collision of cultures have sparked countless creative sparks. A rising - star from China is creating a storm of Eastern aesthetics on the international art stage with her unique perspective of cross - temporal dialogue and profound understanding of the rich heritage of outstanding traditional Chinese culture. That is Zhuang Mengdie. Her works have been successfully selected for The Art Fund Dubai Awards, injecting new vitality into the international dissemination of Chinese contemporary art.

庄梦蝶，这位从闽南小镇石板路走向国际艺术殿堂的创作者，自幼便在艺术的道路上默默耕耘。早年，父亲对她绘画梦想的坚定支持，为她奠定了扎实的艺术基础。在厦门鼓浪屿深造期间，浓厚的艺术氛围以及良师益友的启发，进一步拓宽了她的艺术视野。而生活的磨砺，尤其是2016年之后家庭上的变故，促使她深入探索内心世界，将对生命、真实与虚幻的思考融入到艺术创作中。她的作品《思想的沼泽》《金苹果》被意大利《Effetto Arte》杂志收录，还作为特邀参展艺术家亮相 2025 年迪拜世界艺术博览会，这些成就无疑是对她艺术才华的高度认可。

Zhuang Mengdie, an artist who has journeyed from the cobblestone paths of a small town in southern Fujian to the international art hall, has been quietly cultivating herself in the art field since childhood. In her early years, her father's firm support laid a solid artistic foundation for her. During her further studies in Gulangyu, Xiamen, the strong artistic atmosphere there and the inspiration from her mentors and friends further broadened her artistic horizons. Life's tribulations, especially the family changes after 2016, prompted her to explore her inner world deeply and integrate her thoughts on life, reality, and illusion into her artistic creations.

Her works The Swamp of Thoughts and The Golden Apple were featured in the Italian magazine Effetto Arte, and she also made an appearance as an invited participating artist at World Art Dubai 2025. These achievements are undoubtedly a high recognition of her talent.
