Gulistan’s paintings have both the overall idea of super realism and the presentation of realistic details. Just like the Magic Movies in Hollywood, they give people a wonderful feeling of reality and fantasy. Painters are good at putting different kinds of things existing in different time and space in the same picture. For example, they put the horse of Lang shining on the classical furniture, and juxtapose the flowers and birds of the Song Dynasty with the ancient Greek statues, so as to create the artistic tension effect of “twisting irrelevant things together” similar to the metaphor in the English metaphysical poetry. Another characteristic of her paintings is the quiet atmosphere and elegant color, which may be related to the theme of still life antiques, but perhaps more revealed is the painter’s character and interest.
