Creative Concept

The ‘Perfect World’ series perfectly encapsulates the subtle yet profound connection between nature and its delicate inhabitants. Each painting in the series presents a vibrant image of fruits and vegetables and the epitome of life contained within. These images are visual presentations and ink and watercolour narratives of birds and flowers that delve into the natural world’s intricate and often overlooked ecology.

This painting depicts peaches and a small bird. On the left side of the picture is a peach tree branch with several pink peaches hanging from it. In the lower right corner, a small blue and white bird is perched on one of the peaches. Upon closer inspection, one can see that the peach has been pecked at by the bird, showing nibble marks. With delicate brushwork and soft colours, this painting showcases the harmonious beauty of nature.
