café du matin

In this painting, I've captured the tranquil essence of a morning moment, steeping in solitude and serenity. The monochromatic blue palette enhances the calm and reflective mood, while the interplay of light and shadows across her face and hands encapsulates a peaceful start to the day. This artwork embodies the quiet pleasure of a morning ritual with a cup of warmth, inviting the viewer to pause and breathe in the stillness.

I’ve used high-quality oil pigments and it’s been well-varnished.
( if you love this style but the size doesn't suit, I'm happy to create a similar piece in the required size )

My works come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

“I paint with my heart, to express my thoughts, to rejoice in sadness.”Li Zhou was born in Shanghai and realized her love of expression through art at an early age. During her secondary school years, she studied watercolours under artist Christopher Wu, a professional painter in the world's most influential portrait gallery in New York (PORTRAITS, INC.). Following her inspiration, she enrolled at the University of Shanghai to complete a Fine Arts Degree as well as qualifications in Fashion Design. Since arriving in Australia, Li has successfully pursued a career in fashion, all the while yearning to spend more time expressing herself on canvas. After a personal pilgrimage to Europe, journeying through the landscapes and galleries of the Masters, she returned to painting as a professional artist in 2012.Many of her works pursue the theme of women and Li uses her own language of painting to express primitive and complex inner thoughts. The concept is not of superficial beauty in female form; Li is conveying silent and powerful energy. This is the process of finding her way. Li’s works appear in private collections in Victoria, interstate and internationally. She has also won numerous awards.
