The female artist Piao Chunzi of Korean nationality specializes in meticulous re-color portraits. Over the years, while inheriting the delicate and subtle features of Chinese  fine brushwork, she has done painstaking research in the aesthetic style of the new fine brushwork with contemporary themes of traditional colors and modern painting techniques, especially in the aspects of color, she takes use of the five elements of yin and yang: water, wood, fire, metal and earth o present five colors the traditional concept of which shows that the five colors weave and interplay in the universe playing an extremely great role in the practical life of humans. For example: water (black, blue) is on behalf of all creatures which human beings can not live without even for a moment. Wood (green) represents the well-developed and germinal, which is one of the material human beings relies on to survive. Fire (red) represents indispensable material conditions for humans..

Such color representation is particularly suitable for the thick and strong expression of the Chinese ethnic minority people living in remote areas to reflect the strong vitality passion from originality.
