About the artwork

The rich, almost luminous red of the lotus leaves in Yu Nancheng's "Dragonfly Touching Lotus I" draws the viewer's eye, creating a powerful focal point within the painting. This striking colour is masterfully juxtaposed with the soft, hazy background, resulting in a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere. The artist's impasto technique lends a tangible texture to the leaves, while the delicate dragonfly adds a sense of naturalism.
