Oil Painting

Length:53 x Width:45.5 (cm)
Bright red and pink roses are arranged with white baby's breath in a glazed ceramic vase. This is a classic still life painting. The red petals of the roses and bluish gray background give this scene a sense of harmony and tranquility. Over time, roses wither. As flowers cannot bloom forever, they reveal their artistic value.
Wang is very conscientious and detailed in her work, bringing rich visual layers to her paintings, such as this one in which she shares the beauty of roses in bloom.
