Interpretation of the work:

"GRACEFUL WHIRLS OF MY BELOVED" is the only painting that Mr. Shi Guoliang wants to treasure in his life, and it is one of the representative works that embodies his humanist idea of "life should have color, temperature, emotion, and beauty". In this work, Mr. Shi Guoliang strongly expresses the "ink and heavy color" that he is good at on the heroine, focusing on the detailed portrayal of the face and gestures, using structure and light and shadow to depict bright eyes and beautiful faces, reflecting Mr. Shi Guoliang's accurate grasp of the structure of the characters, and the rest of the protagonist is outlined with minimalist lines, so that people can see not only beautiful people, but also beautiful dancing, and the dynamic beauty of the music rhythm that is about to come out. Although the characters other than the protagonist are not the focus, but the ubiquitous beauty is the beauty of agility, and the vivid image of the characters is depicted with just a few brushstrokes, the light and shadow of the musician's face, the musical instrument in his hand, the posture of his feet, the pomegranate on the top of his head, etc., form a wrapping structure with the protagonist, giving people endless imagination. The contrast between thick and light, thick and thin, primary and secondary, large and small, more and less, real and virtual in the picture forms a harmonious and unified mutual relationship, which highlights the theme of "you are the most beautiful among ten thousand people", so that the picture fully demonstrates Mr. Shi Guoliang's understanding of beauty, the pursuit of beauty and the advocacy of beauty from the surface and the inside.
