Welcome to

Dafen Village

Since the 1990s, Dafen Village has been considered the home of Chinese oil painting.

Originally established to mass-produce replica artworks, Dafen Village is now home to hundreds of independent artists producing world-class oil paintings in their own inimitable styles.

Since 2010 the village’s ateliers have been growing in status, and Dafen artworks are now regularly exhibited at the National Art Museum in Beijing and internationally.

We are proud to support these artists and offer their portraiture to international customers for the first time.
