Flying Swallows

This oil painting employs a minimalist composition to depict five swallows in flight. Their black silhouettes glide gracefully across a soft, off-white background, while subtle touches of red on their heads serve as restrained yet powerful focal points.

The expansive use of negative space—or liubai—lends the piece a rhythmic sense of breath and tranquility, immersing the viewer in an boundless sky. The varying postures of the swallows create a fluid cadence that is at once liberated and orderly, offering a poetic meditation on migration, orientation, and inner balance. With its clean, modern aesthetic, the work achieves a delicate harmony between Eastern sensibility and contemporary design language.
