Wang Xijing's traditional ink figure painting presents a majestic and hearty artistic style, and the series of works is rich and diverse, showing a profound cultural heritage and a unique artistic perspective. His artistic attainments are a combination of deep traditional roots and unique personal style, and his characters are rich and diverse, ranging from the elegant literati and ink writers, the tragic and righteous Wuxu Six Gentlemen, the rich and graceful noble concubines with hairpins, the elegant and colorful maids, or the cordial or solemn political figures and colorful ethnic minority figures. In his works, every line contains emotions, and every brush of ink permeates the painter's personal cultivation and morality. Through the exquisite use of lines and brushwork, he vividly shows the characters' personalities, emotions and temperaments, making the pictures have a strong artistic appeal.

Chinese freehand painting contains profound spiritual and philosophical connotations, which breaks through the traditional paradigm of depicting gods in form, and to a certain extent, emphasizes the depiction of form with gods. In freehand painting, the use of exaggeration and deformation, as well as the integration of the spirit of literati painting, provide a way for painters to vent their personal emotions. This kind of artistic expression is deeply rooted in literature, philosophy, aesthetics and other fields, and embodies the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.

The calligraphy of the inscriptions of Wang Xijing's works is mostly in line script or cursive script. The writing is smooth and natural, while the cursive script is more free-spirited. This choice of style enhances the movement and rhythm of the work, allowing the viewer to feel the rhythmic beauty of the calligraphy while enjoying the painting. The layout and chapter of the inscription calligraphy is an important part of its beauty. It forms a good echo relationship with the main body of the painting. The calligraphy is arranged in such a way that it takes into account visual balance while maintaining a natural flow that avoids the feeling of being too rigid or crowded. The quality of the penmanship and lines of calligraphy directly affects its artistic effect. The calligraphy lines are smooth and the pen is strong, showing the calligrapher's profound skills. The thickness of the lines and the use of brushstrokes make the calligraphy have a rich sense of layering and three-dimensionality. The change of ink color is one of the important expressions of calligraphy. The color of the calligraphy ink is suitable, with both the heaviness of heavy ink and the lightness of light ink and light stroke. This change makes the calligraphy more three-dimensional and layered, enhancing the visual impact of the work.

Wang Xijing is committed to seeking a breakthrough within himself, deconstructing and reshaping the painting art system he has accumulated, and returning to the pure state of art. In the process of exploring the boundaries between Eastern and Western art, he has always looked at the world from a Chinese perspective, demonstrating the ultimate humanistic care of a Chinese artist for mankind.

As a figure painter, Wang Xijing has always taken how his works can be deeply integrated into the times and how to highlight the cultural values of the times as his core thinking. Due to the great changes of the times, he faces a completely different context from the older generation of artists. This question runs through Wang Xijing's entire artistic career, and has become the internal driving force for his continuous exploration and innovation, prompting him to seek new artistic languages and expressions in the collision of traditional and modern, local and international cultures, so as to achieve a breakthrough and development of figure painting in the contemporary context.

Wang Xijing's artistic practice in recent years has mainly focused on the real feeling of real life. Since ancient times, Chinese painting has adhered to the creative concept of "feeling and emanating", and painters are touched by specific themes in their lives, thus giving rise to a strong desire to express themselves through painting. At this time, the painter will mobilize all the artistic qualities he has accumulated, and from the professional perspective of painting, carefully consider the artistic elements such as shape, color, brush and ink, and strive to accurately express his inner feelings.

On the road of artistic creation, Wang Xijing has always insisted on inheriting and carrying forward the tradition, and constantly injecting new ideas and understandings. He does not repeat himself or imitate others, but has devoted himself to exploration and practice for many years, honing his skills and developing a deep perception of culture. With his unique taste, insight and comprehension ability as an artist, as well as his unusual talent, his works have both taste, thought, style and connotation, showing the excellent artistic level of contemporary figure painters, injecting new vitality into the development of Chinese character painting, promoting the redevelopment of Chinese character painting in the contemporary context, leaving a strong mark in the field of contemporary calligraphy and painting, and writing his own artistic chapter.
