The theme of this year's painting clearly states one - the makeup of desire. People's various desires are wrapped under various makeups. Desires are the intertwining of happiness and pain in life. Either straightforward or subtle, they will appear in makeup, forming a profound look of an era.
If spring is compared to a person, then beauty is the desire of spring, desire is the action of "loneliness", and flowers are the makeup of "desire".

Creative themes and style | My works revolve around the creative concept of "The land of humanity, People on the land".The people in the painting are people in nature, and the lines, shapes, and colors are close to nature. The nature in the painting is nature in the eyes of humans, existing in interaction with humans.I don’t pursue a series of works with a fixed and continuous style. I hope that the style of the pictures will synchronize with the changes in my life and always remain oscillating. The performance of the work must be in sync with the development of one's own life in order to be Sincere and powerful.Ideas are later.

1. Color and Form
The flower dominates the canvas with gradient petals rendered in tones of white, pink, and lavender, blending fluidly as though shifting under natural light. This use of color modeling not only captures the delicate materiality of petals but also conveys a sense of movement, echoing the transient vitality of nature. At the center, the brightly colored stamen creates a striking visual contrast with the softer petals, establishing the focal point and symbolizing the pulse of life within the composition.
2. Background and Atmosphere
The deep blue background, painted with a wet-on-wet technique, envelops the flower in a hazy, immersive atmosphere. It functions like a dreamlike stage, heightening the flower’s dominance and imbuing the scene with both serenity and intensity. The swirling tonal variations in the background generate spatial ambiguity, suggesting the coexistence of the tangible and the imagined.
3. Realism and Creative Refinement
The natural curling of the petals and the subtle textures along their surfaces reveal careful realistic observation, while their fluid exaggeration points to a process of creative refinement. Rather than duplicating botanical accuracy, the artist reshapes nature through a lens of imagination, elevating the flower beyond its literal form into a sublimated artistic image.
4. Surreal and Symbolic Elements
Embedded within the petals is a small, fantastical motif, resembling a symbolic sign or dreamlike figure. This surreal detail disrupts the boundaries of traditional flower painting, merging reality with fantasy. Such intervention invites the viewer to question the relationship between the visible world and the imaginative realm, positioning the flower as both a natural subject and a metaphoric emblem.
5. Conceptual and Aesthetic Significance
Through the interplay of color rhythm and formal restructuring, the painting transforms the flower into more than a botanical study: it becomes a spiritual field charged with aesthetic tension. Viewers are drawn into a dual experience—on one level, appreciating the flower’s concrete beauty, and on another, sensing the artistic reconstruction of imagery. The work therefore explores the balance between natural imitation and creative invention, offering a visual journey through flowers, imagination, and the redefinition of beauty.
Zhou Chunya, Peach Blossom Series
With exaggerated colors and expressive brushstrokes, Zhou transforms blossoms into bold artistic icons.
Similarity: Both works depart from naturalism, using subjective treatments of color and form to highlight vitality and artistic conception.
He Duoling, Miscellaneous Flowers Sketching
Characterized by delicate brushwork and rich tonal layering, this series infuses flowers with poetic subtlety.
Similarity: Both works adopt sensitive brushstrokes and nuanced colors to endow flowers with emotional resonance and lyrical atmosphere.
Georgia O’Keeffe, Flower Paintings
O’Keeffe magnifies petals through soft colors and close-up perspectives, emphasizing their sculptural presence.
Similarity: Both works use amplified visual focus and gentle tonal shifts to reveal the hidden charm and sensuality of flowers.
Auguste Rodin, The Phantom of the Flower (painting)
This rarely discussed painting employs dreamy hues and hazy brushwork to evoke mystery.
Similarity: Both works pursue a surreal aesthetic, using atmospheric color and fluid form to immerse viewers in a world of imagination and symbolic ambiguity.
The artist uses an extreme close-up composition, making the petals the main subject and creating a strong visual impact. By magnifying the details of the flower, viewers are guided from the micro level to the macro perspective, experiencing the hidden power within natural forms.
The petals are not a pure white. Instead, they are rendered with soft transitions of pink, light green, and yellow, conveying a sense of life in motion. This layering of color makes the petals appear both delicate and full of tension, symbolizing “resilience within fragility.”
Although the flower is the central subject, the edges of the petals and the background are expressed with highly fluid abstract brushstrokes, breaking away from the limits of naturalistic realism.
This work fuses the figurative beauty of flowers with abstract color backgrounds, creating a distinctive visual language. Such abstract floral wall art is especially suitable for luxury residences, boutique art hotels, and feminine lifestyle spaces. It not only enhances the atmosphere but also carries long-term art investment and collection value.
