姚智泉，1963 年生于内蒙古包头，曾任职于内蒙古科技大学包头师范学院美术学院。2005 年与永乐宫古壁画结缘，自此深耕古壁画保护、摹制复原研究领域，先后取得三项古壁画保护相关国家专利，自主创立古壁画脱离本体保护全新体系 —— 全信息摹制技法，为国内文物壁画异地复原、展陈传承开辟全新路径。
多年来，其古壁画摹制成果多次受邀参与国家级、国际级文化展会与高端学术研讨活动：2012 年，摹制系列作品亮相中国（芮城）永乐宫第五届国际书画艺术节；2013、2014 年两度代表山西省文化厅参展第八届北京文博会、第十届深圳国际文博会；2015 年完成鄂尔多斯古壁画摹制项目并举办专题展览，同步召开北方草原古壁画艺术保护与研究国际研讨会。
2016 年，由中国艺术研究院主办、斯琴塔娜艺术博物馆承办的《丹青遗韵，妙手生花》姚智泉古壁画摹制艺术展暨学术研讨会在北京民族文化宫举办；2017 年受聘为中国艺术研究院工笔画研究院国家艺术基金古壁画摹制技法人才培训项目主讲教师，面向全国行业从业者传授原创摹制工艺。2018 年，北京大学考古文博学院、云冈石窟研究院联合主办 “另一个世界的想象” 大同北魏沙岭墓室壁画摹制作品展及学术论坛，作品于北京大学赛克勒考古与艺术博物馆展出，获得文博、美术学界高度认可。
自 2019 年起，在古壁画保护研究基础上转向非遗创新绘画研发，立足包头本土稀土资源，创新研发稀土箔彩画艺术门类，2023 年《稀土箔彩画》获得专利授权，作品《胡杨月色》参展内蒙古自治区第三届工艺美术精品展并斩获优秀奖。同期，《姚智泉非遗绘画精品展》于东达山区美术馆开展。
2025 至 2026 年，持续推出多场官方专题巡展：2025 年 9 月，达茂旗主办 “岩语 —— 姚智泉稀土箔彩画研创展”；同年 11 月，包头青山区举办同系列稀土箔彩画巡展；2026 年 4 月，昆都仑区多部门联合主办稀土箔彩画非遗文创展，持续以原创非遗艺术深耕北疆地域文化传播，推动古壁画文物保护技术与本土新型非遗绘画双向融合发展，以艺术实践助力内蒙古传统文化活化、文旅融合与公共美育普及。
Yao Zhiquan, born in 1963 in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, previously worked at the School of Fine Arts of Baotou Normal University, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology. In 2005, he became involved with the ancient murals of Yongle Palace and has since dedicated himself to the fields of mural conservation, replication, and restoration research. He has obtained three national patents related to mural preservation and independently developed a novel system for preserving ancient murals without direct contact with their original surfaces—the Full-Information Replication Technique—pioneering a new approach for the remote restoration, exhibition, and cultural inheritance of historical mural artifacts in China.
Over the years, its achievements in ancient mural reproduction have been frequently invited to participate in national and international cultural exhibitions as well as high-level academic seminars: In 2012, the series of reproductions were showcased at the Fifth International Calligraphy and Painting Art Festival held at Yongle Palace in China (Ruicheng); in 2013 and 2014, it represented the Shanxi Provincial Department of Culture twice at the Eighth Beijing Cultural Expo and the Tenth Shenzhen International Cultural Expo; in 2015, it completed the reproduction project of ancient murals from Ordos and organized a thematic exhibition, concurrently hosting an international symposium on the conservation and research of ancient mural art in the northern grasslands.
In 2016, the exhibition and academic symposium titled "Artistic Legacy: Masterful Creation Through Skillful Hands," featuring ancient mural reproductions by Yao Zhiquan, was held at the National Cultural Palace in Beijing, organized by the Chinese Academy of Art and hosted by the Sichen Tana Art Museum. In 2017, he was appointed as the lead instructor for the National Art Fund's training program on ancient mural reproduction techniques at the Gongbi Painting Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art, teaching original replication methods to professionals nationwide. In 2018, the School of Archaeology and Museology at Peking University and the Yungang Grottoes Research Institute jointly organized the exhibition and academic forum "Imagination of Another World: Reproductions of Murals from the Shaling Tomb Chamber of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Datong." The works were displayed at the Sekler Museum of Archaeology and Art at Peking University and received high acclaim from experts in cultural heritage preservation and art studies.
Since 2019, building upon research in ancient mural conservation, the project has shifted focus to developing innovative intangible cultural heritage painting techniques. Leveraging Baotou's local rare earth resources, researchers pioneered a new art form known as rare earth foil color painting. In 2023, this technique was granted a patent, and the work "Poplar under Moonlight" was exhibited at the Third Fine Arts and Crafts Exhibition of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, winning an Excellence Award. Concurrently, the "Yao Zhiquan Intangible Cultural Heritage Painting Exhibition" was held at the Dongda Mountain Art Museum.
From 2025 to 2026, a series of official thematic exhibitions were continuously held: in September 2025, Damo Banner hosted the "Rock Language – Yao Zhiquan's Rare Earth Foil Color Painting Research and Creation Exhibition"; in November of the same year, Qingshan District in Baotou organized a touring exhibition in the same series; in April 2026, multiple departments in Kundulun District jointly curated an intangible cultural heritage creative exhibition on rare earth foil color painting. These initiatives consistently leveraged original intangible cultural heritage art to promote regional cultural dissemination in northern Inner Mongolia, fostered the integrated development of ancient mural conservation techniques with contemporary local intangible cultural heritage painting practices, and contributed to revitalizing traditional culture, enhancing cultural-tourism integration, and advancing public aesthetic education through artistic endeavors.
