On the 27th and 28th of September, renowned Southeast Asian fengshui master and artist, Master Yun Long Zi, held his fengshui art exhibition at Barcelona’s La Pedrera-Casa Milà. Close to 200 representatives from various governments, consular corps and business circles, attended the opening ceremony on the 27th. With them were His Royal Highness Prince Tesso Sisowath of Cambodia and His Excellency Dr Julio Jeldres, Counsellor to the Cabinet of His Majesty the King of Cambodia.
Master Yun Long Zi is the sixth generation fengshui master in his family, renowned in Southeast Asia. Inheriting the wisdom and knowledge from his predecessors, Master Yun founded Lotus on Water Feng Shui Gallery in 2006. Lotus on Water offers authentic and elegant fengshui jewellery, collected even by royalties, transforming and prospering lives of its passionate and large following.

After that, Master Yun took to the stage to welcome all guests and to express his appreciations. Sharing his family’s history with fengshui, he said: “I’m the sixth generation fengshui master of my family and my ancestral home is in Dapu of Guangdong while my maternal grandfather was a Hakka living in Fujian… Our family’s fengshui philosophy focuses on hope, we believe that it is human nature to be hopeful be it during adversity or good times. This is a valuable human trait and this is something my family’s fengshui philosophy focuses on.”

Having practised art since young, Master Yun is also a painter. His fengshui paintings are inspiring creations of celebration, using real gold and silver, a true hallmark of prosperity and elegance. Currently, Master Yun’s fengshui paintings are printed on the packaging of Laurent-Perrier’s La Cuvée, and on the label of Grand Siècle. Master Yun also invented the method of using champagne in his fengshui paintings, the first and only one in the history of art. For his contribution to Champagne, Master Yun was inducted into “Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne” in 2018.
Collectors of Master Yun’s fengshui paintings include His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni, Her Majesty the Queen Mother Norodom Monineath, Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi, His Royal Highness Prince Sisowath Tesso, His Royal Highness Prince Sisowath Veakchirauuddh, of Cambodia. Ms Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt, owner of Laurent-Perrier champagne, and Mr Manuel Rabaté, director of Louvre museum, are also collectors of Master Yun's fengshui paintings.
Speaking of his paintings, Master Yun shared: “Europe’s most famous artists are Picasso and Van Gogh, very strong-willed individuals, which is a trait I share and something I try to bring across in my artworks… I practise fengshui that’s been passed down generations in my family and there’s this saying that life is art and art is life, hence, I think art should reflect one’s life philosophy. Feng shui is part of my family’s belief and philosophy, so it has naturally made its way into my art.
Close to a hundred of Master Yun’s paintings were on display, including "Spring Spreading like Blooming Wings", "Great Tidings", "Wishes like Wild Celebrations" and "The Immense Attraction". Peacock is the subject of most of these works and Master Yun used special paint that allowed these works to flow under ultraviolet light. Besides creating an aura of wealth, strength and happiness, it symbolises that there is always light in the darkness” and that “there is always sunshine after the storm”.

Master Yun said that: “My works revolve around peacocks because their characteristics are similar to my fengshui philosophy, and they are cross-cultural and cross-regional. Peacock is a positive figure in most people’s eye and my painting appears as a peacock in the day but the peacock’s feathers turn into planets under UV light. This is an expression of my fengshui philosophy—with a strong mind, you will be like a planet which attracts all the positive energy around you, for you to lead a life of pride and glory.
