Original artwork description:

Sea of Flowers on the Plateau uses classical realist oil-painting techniques to depict three young women on the high plateau amid an expansive meadow. The work emphasizes layered glazing, wet–dry brushwork, and subtle warm–cool modulation. Faces and garments are modeled with delicate glazing and sfumato transitions to achieve soft, translucent skin tones; eyes, lips, and bead necklaces are picked out with small, precise highlights for added dimensionality. Warm and cool hues are interwoven to express both light and surface texture. In the foreground, stippling, short strokes, and tiny flecks of color form a mottled yet unified tapestry-like effect, giving the wildflowers a patterned beauty. In the middle and far ground, tents and riders recede through atmospheric perspective to open spatial depth. The overall palette remains restrained yet luminous, with a stable, rhythmic pyramid-shaped composition anchoring the figures against the vast sky and meadow.
