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.

In terms of content, lines outline the contours of the figure’s head and hair. The red hair gradually transitions from light orange to dark red, and its naturally drooping form corresponds to the concrete act of “dyeing hair red”. The closed - eye expression weakens the realistic details of the face, enhancing the abstract transmission of emotions. In terms of composition, the figure occupies the center of the painting. The background is laid with low - saturation colors like gray and dark brown, creating a simple visual focus that draws the viewer’s attention to the interaction of colors and forms between the figure’s head and the red hair.

 

The use of color is highly distinctive. The warm tones (orange, red) of the red hair create a strong color contrast with the gray - white and light blue of the face and neck. The red lips, as a color echo, not only intensify the visual impact but also seem to act as an emotional outlet. The painting style combines expressionism and simplicity, abandoning the delicate depiction of traditional realism. With generalized brushstrokes and subjective color matching, it conveys inner emotions, similar to how Amedeo Modigliani captures the spiritual temperament of figures in his portraits. However, this work places more emphasis on color collisions and line simplification, building emotional tension through the brightness of the red hair and the gloominess of the background.

 

Emotions are hidden in the details: The closed - eye posture suggests the figure is immersed in self - dialogue during the act of “dyeing hair red”. The warm tone of the red hair symbolizes the courage to break conventions or the exploration of a new identity. The dark background sets a tone of loneliness and contemplation, transforming the private emotion of “she said” into perceivable visual symbols through color and form. It allows viewers to feel the fluctuations in the figure’s heart within the simple composition, understand the emotional motivations behind the act, and explore the self - reconstruction and undercurrents of emotion contained in daily choices (such as changing hair color).
