Subvert tradition! The jade Buddha he carved was sold for 12 million

The first time I saw Master Wang’s Baby Buddha series of works, the image of Buddha was presented as a baby in the jade carving, jewelry and art collection circles, subverting and creating a new image of Buddha for people. The Baby Buddha is pure, transparent and flawless, with a nature like that of a Buddha and a heart like that of a child. The Baby Buddha series is the result of more than ten years of research and exploration by Wang Junyi. The Baby Buddha series is actually a major innovation of Master Wang Junyi - because it subverts the traditional creative design mode of jade carving.

The baby Buddha is pure, transparent and flawless, with a nature like that of a Buddha and a heart like that of a child.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "good jade does not require a knife". Its market price is often several times or even hundreds of times that of a carved piece, but this depends on its perfection and exquisiteness.

The value of jade lies in its spirituality and emotion , but now jade has become a financial currency. Many contemporary collectors only emphasize its scarcity and lose the charm of jade itself. Nowadays, some collectors blindly pursue the quality of raw materials, but ignore the quality of carving and the cultural connotation of design.

As a collection, it must have certain collection value, profound cultural connotation, exquisite artistic expression, and superb carving skills. When collecting contemporary jade carvings, one must first distinguish between commodities and works of art.

Commodities are mass consumer products that can be reproducibly produced and do not have an artistic soul, whereas a good work of art reflects the maker’s cultural knowledge, artistic accomplishment, and carving skills. “What we should collect is human wisdom, not the value of the material itself.

Baby Buddha series works:

[Infinite Dharma Relics - Baby Buddha] This work is also known as [Purple Qi Protecting Amitabha Buddha - Baby Buddha]

[Golden Jade Baby Buddha] This work is also known as [Water Drop Gold Jade Amitabha-Baby Buddha]

【Lotus Bliss Baby Buddha】

【Golden Buddha of Sakyamuni】

The popular work "Medicine Buddha" was sold at the highest price of 12 million!
