Liu Youran attempts to explore more possibilities for the expression of women's identity in the context of contemporary society, focusing on the women's viewing methods and realistic situations. Through the surrealist painting language, she presents the conflict between the basic requirements of women trying to establish themselves, the subject, and the requirements from the surrounding in a softer way.
