Yongrong Dai, born in 1979, developed an early passion for nature. Although he was an avid traveler yearning to explore foreign landscapes, he temporarily set aside his wanderlust to pursue a university education, majoring in art. Taking his studies further, Yongrong ventured to the United States, collaborating with design mentors. Integrating his love for both scenic travels and art, Yongrong's collections narrate tales of his journeys and the keepsakes acquired along the way. Intrigued by realism art, he draws inspiration from climbing and observing natural landscapes, translating these experiences into vivid artistic expressions. Yongrong's artworks are characterized by intricate detailing and delicate oil painting strokes that contrast against rough textures. Through his pieces, Yongrong aspires to immerse viewers in the essence of his travels, inviting them to share in the richness of his experiences.
The "Set Sail" painting, featuring a solitary rowboat near the shore, is a mesmerizing and contemplative piece of art. Cast in a soothing palette of cream, beige, and grey hues, it communicates a deep sense of serenity and introspection. The choice of cream, beige, and grey hues in the painting adds to its contemplative nature. These colors evoke a feeling of calm and balance, reminiscent of a foggy morning by the sea or the quiet stillness of a secluded beach.
The depiction of the solitary rowboat is a poignant symbol. It could represent individuality and the journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the bravery and solitude involved in charting one's own course. The closeness of the rowboat to the shore adds layers of meaning: it might suggest readiness for a new journey, symbolizing anticipation and the potential for adventure.
