Chinese filigree inlay epitomizes the pinnacle of Chinese gold and silver artistry. In this illustration, the artist symbolically reimagined the characters representing “luck” and “longevity” from Chinese filigree inlay works. The artist emulated the method of using gold wire in filigree inlay to create a textured filling in the painting. The artist chose gold, blue-green, and turquoise, as the main colors of the painting, based on the conventional proportion of cultural relic materials. This results in the abstract yet readily identifiable features of Chinese filigree inlay.
