The Statue

This project was inspired by a sketch from Florence, initially featuring the sculptures of Neptune's Square. The earthy yellows and reddish browns of Florence greatly inspired my creativity. After returning home, I felt that the drawing could be made even more interesting. Since Florence is known for its delicious gelato, I decided to incorporate it into the painting, resulting in a second version.

Later, as a gesture of thanks and playful jest for a good friend who helped me immensely, I altered the features of the sculpture and created a third version as a gift. This piece won a bronze award from the Japan Illustrators' Association and was exhibited in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

这个项目起缘于一张佛罗伦萨的速写,最开始画的是海神广场的雕塑。佛罗伦萨的土黄和红棕色带给我很多的创作上的灵感。回到家后,我觉得这张画还可以画的更有意思一些,恰好佛伦伦萨的冰淇淋很好吃,我就把冰淇淋加在了画面里,有了第二个版本。

再后来一个好朋友帮了我很大的忙,为了感谢和捉弄他,我修改了雕像的特称并画了第三个版本作为礼物送了出去。这张画获得了日本插画师协会的铜奖,分别在日本东京和中国北京,上海和深圳展出。希望
