INTRODUCTION:
Prof. Deng Nai Rong, who was born in Tianjin, China, is entering into his advance age of 74. At the tender age of sixteen, he had voluntarily joined the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in actualizing his noble dream to emancipate and reform China. His decision was the beginning of his artistic life. His talent in arts was discovered in the Army by his superior, who had sent him for further study. He was greatly influenced by the style and thoughts of Russian arts. This had helped him to establish a stable foundation in art and painting.
He had experienced bitterness, toilsome, success and failure during his 26 years of military life. Every little bit of these encounters had given him a rich experience in life, and had directly influenced his style in creativity. Being an army officer, it is a prerequisite to serve the society and people. As such, during this period, the themes of his creative artworks were mainly focusing on revolutionary, historical and propaganda paintings. After he left the Army, his focus was on landscape, figure and still life paintings.
After experiencing a life of ups and downs, Prof Deng sighed nostalgically and said, “Life is a journey full of continuous battle, frustration and suffering. Every minute and second, we are struggling with our own self, our thoughts and various unfavourable factors and try to live in this difficult circumstance”. However, his paintings shine with happiness and the beauty of humanism. In his later works, his styles are more simplified and straight forward without any magnificent superficial techniques. It is easy for the viewers to resonance with joy from the theme of the subject matter. Just like his painting of children who wear smiles in their faces, bringing limitless hope and life force to the viewers. This is the essence of art.
Prof. Deng visited Malaysia many times and has established a close link with friends in Malaysia. In 2001 he experienced the rural life of Trengganu when he was invited by Yayasan Seni Berdaftar to stay there for three months as a guest artist. He was the first artist from China being invited to Malaysia. Prof. Deng has contributed immensely towards the cultural exchange and friendship between the peoples of Malaysia and China.

邓乃荣教授简介
邓乃荣教授出生于中国天津市，今年已迈入74岁高龄。自幼酷爱绘画。16岁那年，他为实现解放和改造中国命运的伟大理想，自愿参加了中国人民解放军。这个抉择，是他的艺术人生的重要起点。在部队里，他的艺术才华被高层发现而因此获得栽培。他多次被送去学习美术创作，当中对他影响最大的是苏联美术创作的技巧与思想。因此，为他建立了稳固的美术基础。
邓教授26年的从军生活，让他经历了无数的辛酸与得失，这一切生活点滴也为他塑造了丰富的人生经验，也直接影响他的艺术创作风格。早期由于身处军队，艺术创作都是为了服务社会、服务民众的需求，所以这时期的艺术创作较多属于主题性的革命画、历史画和宣传画创作。离开部队后，他终于开始了属于自己的艺术创作——风景画、人物画、静物画。
历经坎坷一生的邓教授曾感慨地说：“人生是一个不断拼搏，不断经受挫折，不断受难的旅程。分分秒秒都在与自己、自己的思想及各种不利的因素斗争，然后在这艰苦的环境求得生存。” 但他的创作却一直闪烁着欢乐和充满人性美。 后期的画风更是朴实简约，直接和简单，没有表面技巧的华丽。让观者易从人物主题直接感受那份喜悦，而达到共呜，就如他的人物作品中的孩子们脸上绽放的笑容永远带给人无限的希望与生命力，这也就是艺术的本质。
邓教授也曾多次莅马，与马来西亚结下了深厚的情缘。邓教授曾于2001年获得我国艺术基金会的盛情邀请到登嘉楼体验生活、写生、创作3个月，也是首位被邀请到马来西亚创作的中国画家。邓教授为马中人民友谊和艺术家之间的交流也做了有益的贡献。
