Robust and Rubenistic Painting

In "Robust and Rubenistic," Yi-li Chin Ward pays homage to the classic style of Peter Paul Rubens, depicting two women with full, rounded forms that celebrate the beauty of the human body in all its naturalness. The figures are portrayed in a relaxed state, their postures and expressions reflecting a sense of ease and contentment. The cloudy, muted background further enhances this mood of relaxation, allowing the warm tones of the women's skin to stand out in contrast. This painting captures a timeless appreciation of robust forms and the quiet grace found in repose.
