The Origin of The Human with the Sun

Through the tiny space between the furs, the five senses of the woman are vaguely showing. The sunflower on top of the furs is the focal point of the art piece, employing the same arrangement as The Son Man, which is a famous drawing by a German artist. In that painting there is a man in a suit and a green apple covering his face. The sunflower is wildly blooming as it radiates the feeling of positivity and warmth, like the sun. The Human with the Sun, with its overall tone of warm colours including yellow, orange, red and purple, which specifically mirror one of Picasso’s masterpieces, Woman in a Hat with Pompoms and a Printed Blouse. The collision of these colours, especially the yellows and the reds, provides the impression of sunlight shining on you during the sunset and sunrise. By contrast, a creamy white colour was mixed with a milky white was to form the background. Rather than diverting attention from the focal element, this soft combination emphasizes the human with the sunflower.
