Optimism

This conceptual painting suggests optimism and happiness using Chinese opera facial make-up on half my face, coupled with Chinese characters in different forms that have the same meaning as "Happiness".  Opera facial make-up plays the artistic functions of implying commendatory and derogatory connotations and differentiating benevolence and malevolence.  In this sense, facial make-up has obtained the reputation as "painting of heart and soul".  Opera facial make-up, as the product of fine artisanship, has become part of the masterpieces in the thousands years of Chinese culture and art.
At the lower left corner, there is my signature in the form of Chinese seal stamp.
