A full-body Japanese ink-splash (sumi-e) painting on aged rice paper depicting A young brownish skin tone balinese women with her son sitting on her lap, drawn in a simple abstract surreal minimal style of artist Cheong Soo Pieng, with disproportionally large almond shaped eyes closed with thick dark eye slits & thick pinkish lips, black long hair with turban, seated closely together beneath a dense, stylized canopy of leaves. The mother figure has unnaturally elongated bodies & limbs, wearing batik patterned traditional Balinese costumes, gently tilted head, and closed or half-closed eyes with lashes, conveying quiet intimacy, contemplation, and emotional closeness. Her facial features are simplified and almond-shaped, with smooth, matte skin tones in warm ochres and muted browns. She wears traditional patterned sarongs with intricate batik-inspired motifs in earthy reds, greens, and golds. Hair is dark, sleek, and simply styled; small red earrings add restrained color accents. The ground is also light green. Render the whole image as a powerful abstraction approaching silhouette emerged through expressive black ink washes and fractured brushstrokes, conveying intense, restrained pain and psychological tension. Phase Twist, Fourier distortion, Bekeshi curves, and void-like holes integrated through rhythmic ink dispersions, rotational brush spirals, and negative space. The background dissolves into palm leaves & ferns on a canvas, under shimmering waves of light & shadow. The background is richly textured and decorative rather than realistic: a tapestry-like field of repeating leaf patterns in gold, brown, and black fills the upper half, while the ground is composed of dotted, stippled textures in warm earth tones., blend with tricolor ink gradient of deep indigo, muted crimson, and raw paper white, bleeding into the fibers. The composition is balanced and maximalist, with restrained color accents. Inspired by Hokusai, Hiroshige, and sumi-e masters, emphasizing gesture, texture, and imperfection, with dramatic ink density contrasts creating cinematic chiaroscuro, allowing the figure to emerge from shadow through negative space.
A full-shot watercolor painting in the style of Sumi-e realism depicts an East Asian woman with long black hair, arranged in a bun with loose strands, embracing a child. She has a high neckline and is wearing a dark floral dress with a shawl draped over her left shoulder, leaving her right shoulder bare. Her left hand is around the child's waist, and her right hand is near the child's head. White highlights define her shoulders and the bridge of her nose. The child, with a top knot and red lips, is wearing a white diaper, holding onto the woman's arm with both hands. His left leg is curled up, and his right leg is bent. A dark-leaved tree is in the upper left corner, and a tree with brown leaves is in the upper right. The background is a mix of white with black brush strokes, some of which are horizontal. The bottom of the image has brown dots on a light ground.
