莫晓松还将中国的彩陶、马家窑文化等元素与希腊的瓶画融汇在一起，把中国敦煌的彩塑和希腊的雕塑融汇在一起。近年来莫晓松常以中国美术家的目光审视西方文明遗迹，多次往返于雅典、罗马、西西里岛、米兰等异邦采风写生，心游四海。在表现异国风情的同时，他也并未忘记自己的文化根基。他在创作中，将敦煌壁画中的部分元素予以再现和二次创作，旨在将中国写意精神与古希腊、古罗马艺术神韵相融，表现出中西文化“各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，天下大同”的文化理想。
Mo Xiaosong’s artistic ingenuity extends further, deftly merging elements of Chinese colored pottery, the Majiayao culture, and Greek vase painting. He intricately weaves together Chinese Dunhuang colored sculptures with Greek sculptures. In recent years, Mo Xiaosong has approached Western cultural artifacts through the eyes of a Chinese artist, embarking on multiple journeys to Athens, Rome, Sicily, Milan, and other foreign lands for inspiration, traversing the world in both body and spirit. While capturing the essence of exotic cultures, he remains firmly rooted in his own cultural heritage.In his creations, Mo Xiaosong deftly reproduces and reinterprets select elements from Dunhuang murals. His aim is to merge theexpressive and interpretative approach of Chinese ink painting with the artistic allure of ancient Greece and Rome. His ultimate aspiration is to embody a cultural ideal of harmony between East and West, echoing thecultural idealof “to cherish one’s own beauty and appreciate others’grace, a world of grand harmony we embrace”.

The Artist in Dialogue with Guests
在对话环节中，对话现场展出了莫晓松的五幅珍贵手稿，他以此为例，展开了生动细致的分享。他希望为传统的中国工笔画找到一种新的表达方式，通过将世界性的语言注入中国水墨艺术中，使其能够与世界艺术进行对话和交流。他认为艺术应该超越国界和文化的限制，成为一种全球性的语言。
The roundtable discussion delved into artistic concepts, sharing the rich outcomes of cultural exchange. During this engaging conversation, Mo Xiaosong showcased five precious manuscripts, vividly illustrating his points for discussion. His goal is to uncover a fresh expression for Chinese Gongbipainting(traditional Chinese realistic painting style). By infusing a universal language into Chinese ink art, he aims to spark dialogues and exchanges with artof the world. His belief is that art should transcend boundaries and cultural confinesto becomea universal language.

Sorrow of Pompeii, 2020, 145x240cm (thickened shuxuanpaper, ink, mineral pigments, gold)
庞贝之殇
火焰熄灭
大地
开始历史的怀想
曾经热烈燃烧过的灵魂 及肉体
在记忆消失之后
开始 苏醒
欢乐的旋律
优美的线条
来自于
斑驳伤痕
所有的黑暗
所有的色彩
在同一时空
是在书写生不逢辰？
还是在等待生的归来？
如今
流失的生命造像
正在形成
正在时间的原野之上
沉默
天高云低
众心伤悲
凡美好的
必被掠夺
凡珍惜的
必遭摧毁？
在我的仓皇回首之中
谁的目光
正横过万里无云的天空？
谁又能读出我
急迫的哀求？
没有什么是
可以永远燃烧下去的
一切燎原之后
依旧要
复归于
灰烬
—今生仍然
渴望有一场心灵之雨
洒遍这干渴的生命丛林
让藤蔓攀援
让苔藓包裹
让浓雾
终日弥漫
封锁住通往重生的山
庞贝己毁
那里曾有过多少难舍的相逢
那里曾有过多少致密的繁华
庞贝己毁
而我
并没忘记
每个月夜
都有月光
记录着
时间的痕迹
为的是
千年之后
我
在原处
等你
Sorrow of Pompeii
Fire extinguishes
The earth
Starts pondering on the history
Souls and bodies that once burned with passion
After the memory is gone
Begin to wake up
Melody of joy
Graceful lines
Fromthe wounds and scars
The darkness
All the colors
In the same space and time
Are complaining about the unfair fate?
Or waiting for the return of life?
Now, the lost statue of life is being built
On the field of time
Staying silent
Under the high sky and low clouds, the hearts are sad
All beautiful things
Will be plundered
All of the cherished
Must be destroyed?
In my flurry of recollections
Whosegaze
crossesthe cloudless sky?
Who can decipher
My urgent plea?
Nothing
Can burn forever
After burning in a prairie fire
Everything still needs to return toashes
—True in this life
Longing for rain on souls
That waters the whole thirsty jungle of life
Let the vines climb
Let the moss spread
Let the fog permeate each day
Blocking the mountain road to rebirth
Pompeii has been destroyed
How many encounters and bitter farewells
How great the prosperity has been
Pompeii has been destroyed
But I haven’t forgotten
Every moonlit night
It’s brimming with moonlight
Recording the footprints
Of time
Hoping
In a thousand years
Iwill be still here
Waiting for you
