SUVA, May 20 (Xinhua) -- An exhibition of Chinese oil paintings showcasing the natural beauty and unique culture of China's northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has opened at the China Cultural Center in Fiji.

On display are 30 oil paintings by 30 renowned Chinese artists. "The paintings are absolutely fantastic. This exhibition represents a high level of creativity and skills," Fijian artist Irami Buli said.

Painting is the expression of ideas and emotions of artists, Buli said. "That's how they can share the knowledge between peoples, and countries."
