In history, Buddha Bodhisattva Maitreya is typically pictured with either both feet on the ground or crossed at the ankles, seated on a throne, waiting his time. He regards all living beings with conpassion and is foremost in the perfection of patience. Maitreya is the symbolof great love, happiness and harmony in trditional Chinese culture. And in Qiu's works, he has fully embodied these features. Looking at Qiu's paintings, the audience is always struck by his strong visual contrast and deeply touched by the peaceful laughter. However, Qiu presents not only the feature of Maitreya but also philosophic enlightment and a pursuit for the true meaning of life. Mother and child images fill in the whole picture, representing the most beautiful form, that of human body and the most selfless love, that between a mother and her child.

In a world full of struggle and fierce competition, Qiu's work brings every individual a welcome does of harmoney and tranquility.
