只有牡丹让我快乐 phonetically: Zhǐyǒu mǔdān ràng wǒ kuàilè, means according to the LEXILOGOS translation: “Only peonies make me happy”. In fact, having grown these pink peonies, I made a bouquet which first reminded me of Renoir, Manet, Van Gogh, Monet...and other great painters who appreciated these opulent flowers among those which fascinate by their shapes, their colors and their scents. And personally I never tire of admiring their flowering. But I also appreciate the magnificent bouquets that they allow me to compose. By placing, as a wink, the bouquet on a tray with Chinese motifs, I wanted to get closer, modestly, to the refined art with which Asian painters represented these sublime flowers. Once the photo was taken, I took it all again with digital tools which allow the subject to be interpreted differently.
