Contemporary Butterfly Girl Painting // "Flow Of Life 1 " 60 x 90 cm Canvas by Chih Ying He


A deep connection with a crescent moon.

There are many face totems in my new collection 2019. Some are similar to folk masks or original masks. This series of artworks is the mask of a girl with butterfly wings. The idea comes from the Japanese animated film " Yadamon：Magical Dreamer", which is deeply loved when I was young. All the painting was finished by my dear palette knife, it creates some interesting textures and stereoscopic effect. I gave the girl a unique color of skin, you can find her face and neck are different colors. It symbolizes different people from the world, even we look not same, come from different and culture but we are all in together as a human being.

Life is not always perfect. There are ups and downs. Before the dawn, the dark night is always there. Only when you accept everything and be loyal to yourself, the truthfulness will disclose. The girl in the picture is dressed in simple reddish-brown clothes, just like a princess who grew up in the wild field, carried the blood that is inseparable from the nature. The face of different shades symbolizes the different skins from different nationalities. The dark blue screw is the sky and the ocean, a complex inner heart and a simple belief. The green strip is a big tree and a fern, a thick veil and a peaceful life. The semicircle of the colorful dots is a natural creature and an artificial object, a heart of exploring surprises and a seed to the sealed memory. The two different colored flowers mean simple and complex, the joy of abundance and the foundation of faith. No matter when and where you are, "The Flow of Life" invites us to stay in a state of joy and happiness, and start exploring the Self and the ontology from there.
