So, what is so special about this painting, which is worth a whopping 80.5 million yuan? By looking at the partial drawings, we may be able to get a glimpse of its subtleties. The woman in the picture is dressed in a delicate realistic sweater, hugging her chest and smiling, and every strand of her hair and clothes and yarns seem to jump on the paper, vivid and vivid as a real person standing in front of us.

Especially when we focus on the details of the paintings, we are even more amazed by Leng Jun's exquisite skills. The folds on the clothes, the ruddy and delicate skin of the woman's hands, and even the green tendons and pores are clearly visible. This hyper-realistic, ultra-virtuosic approach undoubtedly transports the viewer into a realistic art world, which is breathtaking.

However, the high price of this painting has also sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people questioned the lack of soul in the work, thinking that it was too lifeless, and some even sarcastically said that it was enough to shoot with a high-resolution camera, so why bother to paint it. Some people think that Leng Jun is just showing off his skills, and his works only have technology and no artistic value.

We may be able to look at these doubts and criticisms from a more professional perspective. Leng Jun's oil paintings do give the illusion of a photograph, which is a reflection of his mastery of skill. However, art is not simply copying or imitating, it requires the unique perspective and deep thinking of the creator. Although Leng Jun's works seem realistic, they contain his deep understanding and unique expression of art.

Therefore, we should perhaps be more rational about the high price of this painting. It is not only an important breakthrough in Leng Jun's personal artistic career, but also a powerful proof of the entire art market. At the same time, we should also respect everyone's aesthetic views and opinions, after all, art itself is a subjective and pluralistic way of expression.
