This painting was created in 2024. The colors of this year are still bright but not dazzling. I have gradually found a balance point among the bright colors.
There were originally two characters in this painting, but the relationship between the characters was never properly arranged, resulting in a cumbersome picture. I simply cut out an inconspicuous person to make the picture clearer and neater. Changing the content of the painting would bring more new problems, but I decided to stop there. At the same time, this is not my decision.

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. Medium and Technique
This painting employs the fluidity of watercolor to construct a polyphonic narrative of emotions and memory. Instead of adhering to the rigidity of realism, the artist turns to Expressionist brushstrokes and the wet-on-wet technique, allowing colors to bleed and merge freely. The loosened outlines and diffused layers create an emotional field where hues themselves become vehicles of meaning.
2. Color as Emotion
Color functions here as a semiotic system. The blue–purple hair twists and flows like tangled thoughts; the yellow–orange face glows with the intensity of memory; the red–green background drips downward, echoing the undercurrents of suppressed emotions. These combinations do not pursue harmony in a traditional sense but rather dramatize tension, embodying the volatility of vows—at once radiant and fragile.
3. Form and Distortion
The body is deliberately elongated and distorted, not as an act of chaos but as a poetic deconstruction of “eternal vows.” In the repeated interrogation of promises over time, the figure becomes fragmented, layered, and unsettled. The overlapping forms remind us that vows are never singular—they accumulate, erode, and reappear, shaped by the complexity of human nature.
4. Imperfection as Meaning
The apparent “imperfections”—colors overflowing boundaries, mottled patches across the face, paint drips in the background—are intentional refusals of refinement. They dismantle the illusion of permanence and perfection in vows. The drips and leaks embody vows as unstable sparks rather than fixed declarations. The transparency of watercolor, often associated with purity, is here subverted into a metaphor for “imperfect eternity.” The painting asks whether vows themselves trap us, or whether we impose the chains of eternity onto them.
5. Conceptual Dimension
At its core, this painting is not about beauty in a classical sense but about resistance to conventional ideals of commitment, repetition, and permanence. Through the instability of colors and forms, the artist transforms the language of vows into a visual paradox: both luminous and broken, both eternal and fleeting. In this sense, art here becomes a medium of existential questioning, revealing the fragility and persistence of human promises.
Her lowered hands suggest a sense of restraint and shyness, as if hesitating in the face of intimacy. At the same time, it may also be read as an externalization of helplessness.
Red often symbolizes passion, desire, or pain. The merging of her face with the red zone implies that she is being drawn into—or even engulfed by—an intense emotional force.
Green is commonly associated with life and calmness, while purple carries undertones of mystery and melancholy. Their contrast creates a visual tension, positioning the body at the threshold between reason and emotion.
Rather than a single feeling, the painting evokes contradictory emotions: longing and restraint, closeness and distance, promise and fracture. This ambiguity is the very strength of the work.
The title “Those Eternal Oaths” aligns with the figure’s devotion and attachment, yet her uneasy posture suggests the fragility of vows and the possibility that they may never be fulfilled.
