温婉的气质、恬淡的笑容，像江南的水一般柔美的女子，眼神却透着无比的坚定与执著。这就是古丽·斯坦。所有相背的美感，都在她的身上得以融合；所有相对的锋芒，都在她的娴雅中得以平息。用这样的话来形容她，真是一点都不为过。一张张清丽的黑白影象中，古丽的神情与姿态是那样的高雅而出尘，从她的气息中，仿佛能望见所有对生命与艺术的挚爱。这股炽热的性情几乎让人淡忘了她的轮廓。一如她的画，朦胧中透着深意，空灵中闪着悠远。这些相悖而又水乳交融的一切，令古丽透着一股神秘。接近她，撩起心灵入口处的薄纱，而后发觉，一切清澈无比，却始终都是一个谜。她是一个高贵的精灵，旋舞于记忆之门，穿行于时光之河。
让人震撼的是古丽对时空的想象、对梦的抚摸以及对心灵自由的追寻。绘画、音乐、舞蹈和文字，都是她内心思索的最纯粹表达。先掏空自己，再纵身投入。所有的观察、探索、思考、挣扎、追随，都是猛烈的、澎湃的。而古丽的灵动心绪，却是那道穿过暗涌的神圣月光，皎洁而安宁，张扬地投射下来，再以静谧的姿态流淌进灵魂。古丽的画作就始终流露着这样一种深邃的情绪。看似闲淡的几笔，勾勒出的是深远的意境；看似素雅的色彩，渲染的是思索时的迷茫幻想；看似平静的表达，背后潜藏的是对所爱所想的拥抱姿态。如此引人入胜的所感所思，让我们的视线情不自禁地被抓取、被吸引、被感染、被锁住。内心刻意紧关的阀门就这样松了又松，直到记忆全然铺展在我们面前。一些身影、一些片段、一些感觉被肆无忌惮而又赤裸裸地拉到了我们的眼前。面容、嗓音、耳语，糊了又糊；力量、本质、灵魂，醒了又醒，我们陶醉于漫无边际的时空之中。当精神之光被引领到记忆与憧憬交叉的路口，感动就在心中温暖地摇晃起来。这是古丽带给我们的激情、愉悦和智慧，更多的温雅和神秘弥散在雾一样的空气里，轻柔地飘浮。
欣赏古丽的画和文字，是一段富有寓意的路途，是时光流转的路途，是记忆闪回的路途，是生命起伏的路途，是穿越人间世俗的路途，也是一条静默而深邃的精神路途。这路途，在庞杂繁芜的世界中，清除尘垢，最终趋向光。

A Journey of Memory
March 12th, 2007
Yang Tiansun
Graceful and gentle, a girl of water with a faint smile, such is the impression that people have of Gulistan’s appearance. However, one can find tenacity and persistence in her eyes. Contradicting beauties harmoniously exist in her while opposing talents are appeased with her elegance. She is full of passion towards life and art, which is revealed in the artist’s elegance of bearing. Such passion even overshadows her figure. The vagueness with profound depth in her paintings can also be found in Gulistan. She possesses a mysterious air. All are transparent when draws close to her and removes the gauze over her soul. Still the enigma is always there. Gulistan is a noble fairy, dancing and walking through her memory and time.
It is stunning how Gulistan imagines space time, makes aftertastes of her dreams and pursues freedom for her mind. Paintings, music, dance and words are the purest expression for her thought. She devotes all her passion in her career. Every observation, quest, struggle and pursuit are all made with fierce emotion. Gulistan’s waving emotion is like a drop of holy moonlight, snow white and motionless, running through the darkness, pouring down and finally reaching the soul silently. Gulistan reveals her deep feeling through painting. As simple as the lines, a profound artistic conception is sketched. As light as the elegant colors, lost thought gains strength. Behind the emotionless expression hides the longing to embrace all that she loves and yearns for. We are unconsciously gripped, attracted and infected by her ravishing paintings. The carefully guarded inner world starts to open until all the old memories are recalled. Familiar figures, past episodes, feelings, all rush out without suppression. With appearances, voices and whispers recalled and strength, essence and soul awakened, we are intoxicated in the boundless temporal space. When the light spirit is ushered to the crossing point of recalling and longing, one feels warm and moved. Such is the passion, pleasure and wisdom that Gulistan brings to us. A magic is pervasive in the misty air, softly floating.
Appreciating Gulistan’s paintings and words is like a meaningful journey in which we move back to the past, re-experiencing the vicissitudes of life, traversing the earthly reality—a spiritual journey to clear away the dirt and lead us to light.
