Awakening is a painting by Taïwanese artist Chen Yiching created with mineral pigments and silver leaf.
Chen Yiching is an expert of «nihon-ga», a form of traditional Japanese (nihon) painting (ga). This very demanding technique consists of using only the most natural of materials (wood, paper, rock, sand, bone) to create the artwork. The pigments, obtained thanks to minerals such as azurite or malachite, are mixed with glue (nikawa). The paper is glued to wood or stretched silk (marouflage technique).
The artist gets all of her inspiration from nature. Her paintings (floral compositions, cross-sections of forests, some animals) are proof of this. She expresses her sensibility by use of a harmonious language which is both controlled and delicate.
