今年9月12日和11月4日分别是“中国和拉脱维亚建交30周年”及“拉脱维亚大学孔子学院10周年”，为此早在去年拉脱维亚“飞笔”中国画室（主任白凯夏）、拉脱维亚国家图书馆（波罗的海东亚研究中心阅览室主任叶春萌）和拉脱维亚大学孔子学院（中方院长尚劝余）三方即协商筹备今年的画展，纪念这两个中拉关系史上的重大周年活动。这也是上述三方第四次合作在拉脱维亚国家图书馆举办中国书画展。
本次画展在拉脱维亚国家图书馆波罗的海东亚研究中心阅览室展出，展期从9月15日到12月30日，主要展出拉脱维亚“飞笔”中国画室师生的作品。虽然疫情肆虐，但“飞笔”中国画室坚持线上教学，学生继续学习两种基本风格的国画。本次展出的作品是“飞笔”中国画室师生的水彩工笔画，是艺术家们长期不懈地一笔一划勤奋耕耘的成果。白凯夏主任深信，全神贯注于令人愉悦的绘画活动，有助于学生们顺利克服疫情期间带来的艰难困苦。艺术家们希望用他们的作品给观众带来一场视觉盛宴，体验中国画水与彩的魔力。
