Most of the artists we saw painting in their workshops were painting commissioned work, primarily portraits.
It’s so nice that you can look into these shops and you see the artists drawing such huge images

Around 10,000 artists live in the relatively small village of Dafen, and it shows. Many of the buildings are painted in a unique, colourful style.

I haven't seen much streetart in the other parts of Shenzhen, it all seems to be concentrated in Dafen.

And, of course, it's not just oil paintings anymore. There are also artists creating sculptures or traditional Chinese calligraphy.

Between all the artists' workshops and shops selling paintings, there are many shops offering art supplies. For example, there are shops selling paint or canvas, as well as workshops building the frames. It's similar to how the electronics markets and factories in Shenzhen work: Only do what you are good at yourself, but keep the supply chain as close as possible. Everything you need is in one place.

These shops also seem to be locally owned. I haven’t seen anything that i identified as a brand or a chain.

Dafen is also developing into a tourist attraction. For example, you can learn how to paint your own Dafen Oil Painting.

Nevertheless, when we visited last year in March, it was barely visited and not overcrowded at all. The small alleys definitely seemed prepared for more tourists.

Regarding the village’s origin story, you asked who would order 360,000 oil paintings and need them within 6 weeks. The large orders came from supermarket and furniture store chains. For example, Jiang’s first major order came from Walmart.

When we were in Dafen last year, we didn't see any mass production of oil paintings. I suppose it's still happening, but more on the upper floors, inside the buildings.

I love how many of the artists paint outside in front of their shops.

I was impressed by how peaceful and relaxed the atmosphere in the village was. The people here seemed to be just… happy?

La frana di Niscemi è un complesso fenomeno franoso determinato dallo scorrimento profondo di masse terrose il cui arresto, secondo gli esperti non è pienamente possibile, come attestato dai rilievi e dalle analisi geologiche dell’Università di Firenze. Gli interventi che per ora sono stati
