Mian Situ ART FOR SALE

Mian Situ portrays his wife, Gloria, as a woman of beauty, dignity, culture and grace. Sitting in a chair and perhaps engaged in conversation, her pearlescent silk Chinese robe with contrasting borders emphasizes her character as both demure and confident.

Created en plein air at Kahului Bay on the island of Maui in Hawaii, this oil painting is done with bravura brushstrokes to depict the island's shoreline with a sense of spontaneity and freshness.

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.

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.

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.
