Swedish artist Torsten Jurell came to Jingdezhen, a world-famous "porcelain capital", in 2011 for the first time where he embarked on a new journey of art.
Torsten Jurell's interest in China came from his father, an enthusiast in restoring Chinese porcelain. Torsten Jurell found Chinese porcelain a beautiful and special form of art since his childhood. Now he spends a few months in this city almost every year and gets in touch with many ceramists and traditional artisans here.
Torsten Jurell works in various fields such as printmaking, ceramics and sculpture. In Jingdezhen, he tries to draw inspiration in Chinese mythology. "Jingdezhen is like a universe with infinite space for creativity and imagination. I hope to bring more people here to get to know local life and culture and feel the open and diverse artistic atmosphere,"
