Hand-Painted Chinese Qi Baishi Inspired Painting Collection – Daji Rooster & Chicks, Cabbage & Fish, Ink Lotus Waterfowl & Auspicious Still Life, 4 Artworks

Hand-Painted Chinese Qi Baishi Inspired Painting Collection

This four-artwork collection brings together some of the most recognizable visual themes associated with modern Chinese xieyi painting: a bold rooster surrounded by chicks, leafy Chinese cabbage with swimming fish, expressive ink lotus with twin waterfowl, and an auspicious still-life composition of fruit and colorful bowls.

These are contemporary hand-painted decorative works inspired by / after Qi Baishi, not original or authenticated Qi Baishi artworks.

Each design is hand-painted in an expressive Chinese ink-and-color style, so natural differences in brush pressure, ink spread, color density and small details can occur from piece to piece. That variation is part of the handmade character.

Choose Your Artwork

01 – Daji Rooster with Four Chicks｜大吉圖・雄雞四雛
A powerful orange-and-black rooster bends toward four small chicks. The tall tail feathers create a dramatic upward rhythm, while the family grouping softens the composition.

02 – Chinese Cabbage & Swimming Fish｜白菜游魚
Loose black-and-grey cabbage leaves dominate the composition while small fish bring movement to the lower area. The monochrome palette makes this one of the easiest styles to place in modern, Japandi and wabi-sabi interiors.

03 – Ink Lotus & Twin Waterfowl｜墨荷雙禽
Large dark lotus leaves, a vivid pink lotus bloom and two small waterfowl create a classic flower-and-bird balance.

04 – Auspicious Fruit & Colorful Bowls｜吉果彩碗
A playful still life combines pale fruit, colorful bowls and red fruit below the tray, making it especially appealing for kitchens, dining rooms and housewarming gifts.

How to Display These Paintings

Living room: use one painting as a compact organic focal point. The cabbage-and-fish design is especially easy with warm white, greige or soft grey walls; the lotus adds botanical colour; the rooster brings more visual energy.

Entryway: Daji Rooster with Four Chicks is the most assertive first-impression piece. Place it above a slim console and leave space around the long tail feathers.

Dining room: the rooster, cabbage-and-fish and auspicious fruit-and-bowls designs all sit naturally near dining furniture.

Tea room: Ink Lotus & Twin Waterfowl pairs beautifully with Yixing teaware, celadon, bamboo, linen and natural timber.

Study: cabbage-and-fish or lotus create a calmer mood, while the rooster gives a workspace more energy.

Interior Pairing

Walnut, rosewood and black timber reinforce a Neo-Chinese look. Pale oak, linen, travertine and warm white walls suit Japandi. Textured plaster and handmade ceramics work especially well with the irregular xieyi brushwork.

Gift Guide

The fruit-and-bowls work makes a friendly housewarming gift; the rooster suits business milestones and festive occasions; Ink Lotus & Twin Waterfowl is a strong match for tea lovers; cabbage-and-fish works well for a quieter study or minimalist home.

Cultural Symbolism

Roosters, lotus, fish and fruit carry rich cultural associations with vitality, purity, abundance and auspicious wishes. These are decorative traditions rather than guarantees of luck, wealth, health, relationships or Feng Shui outcomes.
