The set of three paintings depicts a scene of "Xanadu". Originally inspired by a Classical Chinese poem, “The Peach Blossom Spring”, and the idea of an idyllic, peaceful place. It was created during the pandemic when many struggled with feelings of isolation and needed a place of solace and escape from daily troubles like "Xanadu". You can read the full story of the painting here. 

"Xanadu" was made in the traditional Chinese gongbi technique, using ink and pigments on rice paper. The process needed much care, focus, and attention to detail, and to obtain the desired depth of colour, over ten layers of ink were used to paint the elements in the painting and the background. 

Size: 68 cm x 138 cm / 27" x 54" x 3

The original paintings are sold as a whole set, unframed. The framing option is available upon request. Fine art prints of individual paintings are available here.

The two-piece painting started from an idea of a field covered with blossoming peonies - beautiful and soft, inviting for a barefoot walk. 

Over time, the painting gradually evolved. First, a window frame was added alongside a vase with fresh herbaceous peonies to create an effect as if someone was living next to a peony field. Then, branch shadows were added to create a dreamy, romantic feeling.

With this painting, one can feel as if they lived next to a stunning peony field which stays full of sweet fragrance and colourful flowers turning towards the sun-filled, cloudless blue sky, regardless of the weather or time of the year!

A fine art painting showing a peony bouquet basking in the glow of the moonlight. There is a slight sentiment of melancholy that can be sensed coming from the painting. One can almost feel the peonies reaching for the last rays of light before the darkness of the late evening falls over them.

This painting is an experiment in mixed media on both silk and canvas. The white flowers in the foreground were created with Chinese ink and pigments on silk. Then, the silk was mounted onto canvas previously painted black. Finally, fragments of silk were burnt to make the canvas visible. The remaining flower elements were developed in oil to form depth. It was one of a series of three in this experiment.

This painting was created as one of The Peony Girl’s experiments with mixed media. The waterlily was painted with Chinese ink and pigments on silk to emphasise its purity, together with delicate features of the dragonfly. Other elements of the painting were added after mounting the silk onto canvas and painted in oil, to create heavier, crude texture contrasting with the lotus. The whole painting took around 22 hours to finish. 

The name "Rising Above the Silt", is a Chinese phrase used to describe a waterlily that grows out of muddy waters - like lilies growing in the marsh - yet untouched by the impurity, clean and beautiful. It implies virtue, purity and high moral values that are not tainted by the unfavourable environment. 

This painting has won the major prize of The Yellow Book Project (nationwide) to help support mental wellbeing.
