--A special exhibition of caring for autistic children
Preface Listen to the color of silence, touch the light of the soul
 

Art is the most sincere expression of the human soul, and for autistic children, art is a bridge to the world and a way for them to establish connections beyond language. Autistic children are called "star children" because there seems to be a subtle gap between their way of thinking, emotional experience, and the rhythm of the world. However, in their paintings, this gap is broken, and we can get a glimpse of their unique and pure inner world. This exhibition is not just an artistic presentation, it is also a profound exploration of human cognition, emotion, and communication. In these works, we see not only the composition of shape and color, but also the individual's understanding and reshaping of the world—some paintings are colorful and full of jumping vitality, as if the children are cheering and celebrating in their own way; some works are full of a sense of order, showing their fascination with structure and repetition; and some pictures seem to transcend reality, revealing their unique experience of time and space, emotion, and the essence of the world.

The artistic creations of autistic children remind us that the way people communicate with each other is not limited to language and words. Every heart has its own unique frequency and expression. As Paul Klee, a great artist in the 20th century, once said: "Art is not about reproducing visible things, but about making invisible things visible." These children's works allow us to see their unique perception of the world and also prompt us to reflect: How much beauty and wisdom are there outside the so-called "mainstream" that we have not noticed?

Today, we stand in front of these works, not only appreciating but also listening. In these paintings, we can see the voices of the children, the safe place they have built between colors and lines, and their desire to seek understanding and resonance in free expression. Each work is a silent dialogue, reminding us that we need to accept, understand, and support them with a more open mind.

This exhibition is not only a celebration of art, but also a reflection of society's attention and tolerance for autistic children. Art should not be limited. Every child's creativity deserves respect, and every expression should be listened to and cherished. May this exhibition become a window, allowing more people to see the unique light of the “Star Children"; may art become a bridge, connecting the world more closely with their hearts
