在所有文艺复兴大师中，米开朗基罗是描绘创世纪最多的一位：亚当夏娃的人类起源神话，昼夜晨昏记录时间的秩序和归宿，在米开朗基罗身上背负了最多的人类的梦想、欲望、悲怆和幻象，生命的重量。

Among all the Renaissance masters, Michelangelo is the one who depicted the Genesis story most extensively—the myth of Adam and Eve, the cosmic order of day and night, morning and dusk, all carrying the weight of time’s passage. In Michelangelo, the greatest weight was that of human dreams, desires, sorrows, and illusions—the profound weight of life.

刘曼文在园林深处创造了隐蔽在层叠的幽绿色后面闪烁发光的生命，色彩慎密地递进，记录一个成熟艺术家由外向内不断接近真情的生命体验。从鲁迅美院到江南水乡，从天才的艺术少女到睿智从容地生活的艺术家。

（文/王凯梅）

In the depths of her garden, Liu Manwen creates forms of life, hidden behind layers of shimmering green, radiating with light. The colors unfold meticulously, capturing the inward journey of a mature artist moving ever closer to an authentic expression of life’s experiences. From her beginnings at the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts to the water towns of Jiangnan, Liu's evolution from a prodigious artistic youth to a wise and reflective artist of life is vividly recorded in the progression of her work.
