Description Charged with uplifting energy, this oil painting by Mian Situ is brilliantly executed and appears to emanate its own light. The arrangement of bright magenta, orange and pink colors creates a sense of exuberance and airiness while the patch of blue anchors the composition.
Mian Situ pays tribute to the grace and refinement of traditional Chinese culture. The diagonal composition that begins with the full blossoms of roses on the lower left and continues up towards the top of the young woman’s head, projects a feeling of significance and strength.
The artist portrays his wife, Gloria, in an elegant and refined setting. The drape of her pink silk robe hearkens back to her Chinese ancestry and its contrasting embroidered border creates a diagonal line that exudes a feeling of strength.
The two Miao girls depicted here are wearing their talents, as evidenced in their fine embroidered clothing and silver jewelry, in hopes of attracting prospective husbands.
