About the Center
Macau Longyou Silk Culture & Art Center (SILKLY ART) is a Macau-based international silk art poster house and curatorial institution. Rooted in Macau’s unique position as the crossroads of Chinese culture and the international community, we build a world-class IP collaboration and rating platform.
Mission
Macau is a port where China and the West have met for centuries — a cultural bridge in itself. We use Macau as the hub to license Chinese cultural assets such as Nantianmen, Palace Culture, and Dunhuang to artists worldwide, reimagined and woven into silk posters the world can collect.
“We are curators ourselves.”
The role of the Center is curation, not vending. Every work is reviewed, approved, released, and exhibited — that is our promise to collectors.
Director
Sean Own (Weng Zhenxuan) is Director of the Macau Longyou Silk Culture & Art Center, an investor and entrepreneur based in Macau. He has spent years moving between Macau, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, working in the silk industry while serving as an industry advisor and pursuing association resource integration and cultural-creative industry promotion.
Since settling in Macau in 2013, he has witnessed the city’s rapid development and the deep interweaving of Chinese and Western cultures. He believes Macau’s distinctive historical position and its open, inclusive environment offer exceptional flexibility and scope for advancing Chinese cultural IP and international collaboration.
He has long been committed to building cultural bridges — using silk as a vehicle to bring outstanding Chinese culture to the world. His resource network spans government departments, cultural institutions, and enterprises across industries, providing solid support for cultural projects and international exchange. In a diverse and inclusive environment, he continues to transmit Chinese culture and create broader possibilities for the next generation.

Our Commitments
We make only silk art posters, no other categories. The narrower the category, the clearer the brand.
Chinese deities and collection IP are always obtained by “license”, never claimed as owned.
The power to rate is handed to an independent system of domestic and international experts and artists, not kept in our own hands.
Every released work has a physical exhibition record, written into its provenance.
