作为中央美术学院科班毕业的艺术家，经本科、研究生、博士生的训练，扎实的写实造型能力是艺术家所拥有的毋容置疑的基本功。掌握而不限于写实的传统、力求突破与创新是许莹作为当代国画家一直努力的方向。
在许莹的作品中我们可以看到丰富色彩的运用，在传统水墨人物的基础上，许莹运用了彩墨语言来进行创作。她以彩墨塑形，描绘自己身边的所见所感。美丽、性感、时尚前卫的都市少女一直是她热衷描绘的题材。大大的眼睛、挺直的鼻梁、性感的嘴唇、姣好的身材，美丽的少女穿着各式绚丽多彩的服装进入许莹的国画作品之中，时尚都市的青春气息经许莹的画笔提炼而弥散在观者眼前。
与以往都市、家庭系列作品不同，此次展出的是许莹西行西藏后创作的一批充满佛家禅思的彩墨作品。古老的佛法世界与时尚的青春少女并存在了一个二维的画面之中，古老与现代、沧桑与青春、信仰与世俗的接触碰撞，叩响心门而引人遐思。值得你我面对画面，思绪万千。见心会馆  2013.4
