About the artwork

This piece is a tender reminder of the fleeting beauty of spring. Set on an intensely textured, colorful bed of cherry blossoms, the canvas is a visual symphony of pinks, whites, and lavenders. The couple is utterly unburdened, their soft, serene expressions contrasting beautifully with the vibrant floral abundance beneath them. At their side, a fluffy companion takes a well-deserved nap. It speaks directly to the magical stories we find in nature when we take the time to simply stop, lie down, and surrender to the moment. This is a visually arresting portrait of pure, unadulterated joy.

About the artist

Born in China, Beijing in 1981, Wu Qiong graduated from the Beijing Shi Fan University in 2001 and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. He was exposed to art very young in life with his father being an artist and his mother being a fashion designer. 

Wu Qiong’s art focuses on childhood, capturing a nostalgic and sometimes humorous portrayal of a generation's childhood experiences. Inspired by China and Singapore, his post-Pop art blends elements of Pop Art with a more personal and nostalgic touch. His experiences growing up in the 1980s under the one-child policy also influences his creations. 

Wu Qiong’s art has garnered attention internationally and in China, though his collector are typically kept private. His art has also been exhibited at various international fairs including Art Miami, Art Cologne and Bridge Art Fair.
