Sun Yumin is an artist who is diligent in thinking and courageous in practice. As early as 1981, her "Every Day Upward" established her status as a Chinese brush painting, and "Qiu" created in 2004 was even more famous in the painting world at home and abroad.
Sun Yumin's brush strokes have gone through different stages, the earliest style is realistic and lyrical, "Every Day Upward", "Silver World", "Spring Silkworm", "Early Fog", etc. created in the 1980s, expressing a sense of truth and truth with interest and poetry, with meticulous observation and unhurried brushwork, focusing on the internal beauty of the character spirit and the fusion of specific scenes, which resonates with people.

After the 1990s, she opened up a new world of character painting, and her subject matter was more extensive, she painted both individual portraits and group portraits, painting both the people around her, events, and the heroes and events in history. She abandons the realism of portraits and the realism of photography, and seeks simplicity, change and innovation. The painting method is denatured and exaggerated, the lines are simple and rigid, and the characteristics of the modeling and the spiritual shaping of the characters are highlighted.

In the twenty-first century, Sun's style has changed again, switching between realism and freehand, realistic in a freehand way, and expressing freehand with realism. In the realm of character, there is a new sublimation, which seems to be freehand, but it is actually realistic. Simple and subtle, specious. Shang Nei is beautiful, heavy artistic conception, and long aftertaste.
