Trees of Melbourne 8 continues Duan Yijian’s artistic exploration of nature, capturing the vitality of a lush forest through fluid ink and color techniques. Towering trees with abundant foliage dominate the composition, their forms outlined in bold black ink, while delicate touches of green and soft purple add depth and atmospheric variation, infusing the scene with rhythm and energy.

Subtly blended washes of color define distant mountains and grassy terrain, creating a sense of atmospheric depth while emphasizing the prominence of the trees. Beyond depicting the serene beauty of nature, this work embodies an emotive expression, drawing viewers into the tranquil yet dynamic ambiance of Melbourne’s forests, where stillness and vitality coexist in harmony.
