About the Artwork

"Searching Flowers" is a story about a handsome young man who was a high achiever in the Imperial examination held during the Tang dynasty in China, being ordered to search for beautiful flowers all over the city. I used vivid and transparent plant dye colors, and used white effectively to make the colors stand out more beautifully.
