East is a delicate matter. It is corny, but it cannot be said otherwise. Wonderful landscapes, stunning architecture, curious way of life and traditions, outlandish food … But most importantly - miniature, like dolls, and mysterious, as if constantly hiding something, oriental people. Beautiful Chinese women, sexy Japanese women, modest residents of Vietnam and Korea - all of them have become muses of the modern Taiwanese portraitist Der Jen, whose works we will talk about today at Culturology.ru … As we, white, look the same for Asians and Africans, it is very difficult for us to understand where this or that owner of narrow slanting eyes comes from. Perhaps that is why the oriental beauties portrayed by Der Jen are sometimes called Japanese, sometimes Chinese, or even compatriots of the artist - secret. And the most interesting thing is that there is no mistaken opinion, since over the years of creativity the artist managed to draw girls belonging to all these nationalities.
It is also curious that portraits are not exactly portraits. If you look closely at the paintings, you can see some elements of manga and anime, which gives the right to consider them drawings, but careful detail and realism of facial features is characteristic of portrait painting.
The artist has many series of such paintings, among them - Tarot cards depicting girls in traditional Chinese attire, a selection of images of oriental princesses, romantic young ladies and the so-called "girls from the people". All of them are collected in one large collection called "Illustration Collection of the Ancient Chinese People".
