Art Style Type
This SREF style blends East Asian ink painting with contemporary minimalism. It inherits the philosophical concept of "negative space" from traditional Chinese painting, where empty areas create visual balance and imaginative space. Simultaneously, it adopts modern illustration's color treatment approach, using concise, powerful brushstrokes and a limited color palette to express emotion. This style also carries the experimental nature of contemporary art, skillfully combining traditional techniques with modern aesthetics.
Style Characteristics
The most prominent feature of this style is its minimalist yet highly expressive brushwork. Every stroke is carefully considered—neither excessive nor lacking. The color usage is restrained yet precise, primarily using black, white, blue, and orange-red tones to construct the composition, creating strong visual impact. Large areas of negative space not only create a serene atmosphere but also direct the viewer's attention entirely to the core elements. This "less is more" philosophy makes the artwork appear both elegant and modern, both traditional and avant-garde.
