Territory Painting — UNAA ART's Signature Program
Originated by artist Chengju Li. Students weave personal history, cultural roots and the map of the world into a large, multi-layered work — a visual narrative that is unmistakably their own.
One painting that says who you are
Territory Painting (版图画) is UNAA ART's signature program, originated by artist and UNAA ART founder Chengju Li. Students weave personal history, cultural roots and the map of the world into a large-scale, multi-layered composition.
Uniting concept, painting technique and mixed media, it often becomes the centerpiece of a portfolio: the work with the strongest visual impact and the clearest artistic identity. It gives admissions readers something original — not another copy of the same still life.
Every UNAA portfolio is anchored by a Territory Painting piece, guided by Chengju Li. Learn more at chengjuli.com.
