In decades of artistic practice, Wang Yutian has always been able to "live in peace and keep to himself silently" and gradually form his own artistic appearance, which is the most valuable point for Wang Yutian as a painter.

"Paint after the fact". The "element" here is not only the quality of the painting, but also the inner quality of the painter's temperament and personality. "Su" also means "true color, nature" in Chinese. In Wang Yutian's works, whether it involves still life, landscape or figures, the "pure" quality that comes from nature has never been lost. His painting path is a simple journey on a relatively "narrow" lonely path, and his works have also acquired a kind of quality purity and visual brilliance because of the "element" of its subject matter. This painter, who is usually taciturn and gentle, has a stubborn and unshakable belief in his heart.

Wang Yutian had his usual method of painting peaches. The light seems to be coming from a vine, there is no obvious shadow, but there are many tables and interlinings. The years seemed to crawl slowly, silently. The edges of the peach fruit are cut into delicate arcs. When Yu Tian painted like this, he had the ancient style of Ruo Ingres's "Oriental Bath girl". The peach is the most skin fresh, pitching and reversing, moving gently and slowly, dignified and soft. Yu Tian used the method of flat light grinding and dyeing to make the whole body appear, and the pen had no trace, but he always worked the meaning of the shape. Yu Tian shaped the peach like a deep palace jade girl, but inside it grinded a sense of tranquility and harmony. Here, Yu Tian draws out the core of classical painting, and also stimulates the silence under our feelings and the silence under the flesh, forming a kind of shallow and fashionable image of the times.

In today's fast-paced era, especially people living in noisy cities, seeing Wang Yutian's tranquil oil paintings makes people particularly relaxed, stretched, and pleasing to the eye, which is a kind of beauty enjoyment, but also a taozhi of sentiment.
Looking at Yu Tian's paintings, don't you understand a truth: a work of art is the artist's understanding of the objective world; it is the embodiment of his thoughts, ideas, and emotions; it is the world in the artist's mind; it is a kind of creation, which can never be replaced by photography! We all long for warm tranquility and harmony, and Wang Yutian's works bring us not only the enjoyment of tranquility and harmonious beauty, but also the calm contemplation of artistic creation.
