Peng Wan-Chih traveled to Europe in 1965. His realistic paintings were deeply inspired by personal life experiences, often depicting his family life, things around him and his inner nightmares. His works focus on people, especially his closest family members, with recurring themes of parents and children. In [Mother and Child] (1982) he captures the scene of a baby in its mother's arms with delicate sketch lines. He deliberately blurs the baby's face, but vividly depicts the movements of the body through fine brushwork. Additionally, he skillfully uses blank space in the composition to guide the viewer’s gaze, enhancing the overall visual effect.
