American artist-hyperrealist of Taiwan origin Hilo Chen, in addition to depicting female bodies in the style of nude, seriously fond of floristry, wrote still lifes with flowers and flowers separately. In the picture “Amaryllis” we see a luxurious red flower, which, apparently, just blossomed and the artist hastened to capture this beauty.
Beauty, as a rule, is short-lived and only a master of talent can stop time, transfer this beauty to a canvas, so that it can be admired for many more years, and sometimes – centuries. Passion, blood, death. According to legend, a jealous husband found his young wife in the arms of a lover. He pierced the heart of an ardent young man with a dagger, the blood spilled to the ground, and the amaryllis flower grew on this place, as a symbol of the fact that love can not be killed.
