This painting was created in 2023. This year I was looking for a balance between life and desire while going out, and the work turned into lively small-size paper creations.
"Through My Eyes: The Incomprehensible Bird", there are 9 paintings in the series with this title. They are my small exploration attempts at portrait painting, so the techniques used in each painting are different, and the final picture effects are also different. It can provide ideas for future creations.
There were originally more small paintings like this, but in the end it was these few that were confirmed through my eyes over and over again. Each of them maintains its own unique beauty.

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.

The artist employs thin washes and water-laden strokes, allowing pinks, reds, and whites to merge into semi-transparent transitions. This creates the impression of luminous skin, as if the figure is seen through water reflections or shifting light.
The hand still supports the cheek, but the lines between the fingertips and the face are simplified into softer curves. This relaxation of line lends the subject a lighter presence—less tense, with hints of innocence and self-absorption.
The blue-green backdrop acts like a reflective water surface, making the figure’s warm pink-orange hues stand out more vividly. The collision of cool and warm tones produces an atmosphere that is at once refreshing and tender, as though the subject breathes in humid, luminous air.
The work combines traits of expressive portraiture and lyrical figuration. While grounded in realism, its color treatment leans toward experimentation, and the simplified anatomy carries a subtle deconstructive quality. It is particularly relevant in contexts such as contemporary women’s art research and lyrical painting exhibitions.
First, it demonstrates the artist’s “subtractive approach” within the series—lighter transparency in layering and simplified hand gestures that create a sense of levity. Second, it reflects the versatility of contemporary watercolor–acrylic mixed-media on paper, highlighting its experimental potential. For collectors, this painting serves as both a key component of the series and a marker of its stylistic progression, making it ideal for series-based collections, thematic exhibitions on female portraiture, and academic research holdings with strong potential for long-term appreciation.
