From 1915 to 1935, the practice of adorning walls with tiles featuring auspicious symbols to attract good fortune was a popular motif in classic architecture. ""Duranta and Tiles"" is one of a series of paintings that draws inspiration from this architectural legacy. Here, artist Liu Wei-Tsen departs slightly from his signature indigo shade, choosing instead a rich azure hue to depict the duranta flower—a symbol of protection—amid the shadows cast on a wall at dawn. Ingeniously, Liu uses aluminum foil to create these shadows, mimicking the ambient light and bringing an ever-shifting luminous effect to the painting.
