Luo Pengpeng, a renowned seal cutting artist in China, holds an exhibition in the Royal College of Art in London, from April 14 to 22, expanding the influence of the art worldwide.

Making her first seal at the age of 7, Luo is one of the few outstanding female seal cutting artists in China. Luo's carving career began when she was chosen to become a seal cutter for Rong Bao Zhai, a prestigious traditional art gallery with a history of 300 years, in 1980.

In the past 32 years, Luo has created more than 10,000 seal cutting works, most of which have been exhibited in various seal cutting exhibitions in China and other countries. Her seals feature a combination of traditional style and contemporary living.

Besides artistic creations, Luo has devoted the majority of her time and energy to teaching and promoting the seal cutting art. In 2006, she founded the Academy of Seal Cutting Art of China, the first high-level seal cutting art research institute in China. In 2007, the academy enrolled its first student as a seal cutting major for a master's degree, also the first postgraduate studying the art form in China. Luo also gives lectures on seal cutting in universities and on TV, and has published several books on the art.
