People: Argentine artist learns Chinese painting, calligraphy

Argentine artist Martin Mazia, 49, has been learning Chinese painting and calligraphy for 17 years despite never ever setting foot in China. Martin has learned the four main categories of calligraphy. He can even write jiaguwen, or oracle-bone scripture, (the earliest evidence of Chinese use of the written word). The strong attachment to Chinese painting and calligraphy began with a traditional Chinese medicine class where Martin intended to learn some medical knowledge. Now, he teaches Chinese painting and calligraphy.
