{"product_id":"per-aspera-ad-astra-zhu","title":"Per Apera Ad Astra","description":"\u003cp\u003eA girl with large, pale eyes stands against a cool blue sky, white feathered wings folded behind her - an angel who does not look comforted by her own wings. A small crescent moon is marked on her upper arm. The Latin title - \"through hardship to the stars\" - gives the image its emotional register: this is not triumph but endurance, something still in the process of becoming. Zhu's figurative work consistently explores the interior lives of children and young women, finding in stillness a form of psychological depth. She works in oil with a traditional multi-layered glazing technique rooted in Renaissance and French academic painting, and began painting professionally in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wenyi-zhu\"\u003eBrowse all works by Wenyi Zhu\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Scout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752811192630,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/3815\/0198\/files\/PerAperaAdAstra_whitewall.jpg?v=1772722619","url":"https:\/\/www.artscout.pro\/products\/per-aspera-ad-astra-zhu","provider":"Art Scout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
