Oil on canvas, 300 × 155 cm, 2023
This painting took me more than 3 years to paint color . In 2 years , more than 300 sketches and sketches of women's bodies were collected and sorted , and 100 different styles were selected and painted on this oil painting.
I want to make the picture full of vitality through the scenes designed by 100 female bodies with different skin colors and shapes. It interprets that water is the survival, inheritance and development of living beings. We are human beings in the same global village, and we must protect it. It means that women are equal to men, and women can also go out, enjoy life, and live in the present. When yin and yang are balanced, the world will be peaceful and human beings can survive and develop sustainably.
