Yuan Yuan currently lives and works in Beijing, China. She is best recognised for her large scale paintings of flowers. Via Yuan Yuan's large scale paintings, the flower appear to be a non-subjective object. The blossom on the still-standing branches is held by feather-like green leaves, occupying the frame freely and at the same time extending outside the picture, as if the flower itself is already in self-actualisation at a majestic posture before the depiction.
