Collection: Still Life with Books

The Book Fragrance Collection brings together original still life oil paintings centered on books, flowers, vessels, and familiar objects from everyday life.

In Yang Huaxi’s paintings, books are more than objects in a composition. Resting beside flowers, ceramics, and time-worn belongings, they carry traces of reading, memory, and quiet daily life.

Painted slowly in layers of oil, each work reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in ordinary objects and the marks that time leaves behind.
