Bvlgari Octo Roma Natvralia x Wang Yan Cheng

Considered to be one of the most important painters of the Chinese contemporary art scene, Wang Yan Cheng is a singular artist, straddling the East and the West. Born in 1960, he gained international recognition in the 1990s, at the leading edge of the lyrical abstraction movement. A master of colour and vibrant contrasts, Wang Yan Cheng paints large formats in oil in several successive layers, dripping fluid paint onto textured backgrounds, creating a seemingly random relationship with the work whilst maintaining control. Artistic mastery at its most exacting. “The unexpected, mastered” is also what teaches and passes on in renowned art institutes both in China and France.

By opening a new horizon where mechanical technique and artistic sensitivity converge, by inspiring a distinctive aesthetic that allows the new to emerge, unencumbered by legacy, Octo

Roma Naturalia again proves the perfect platform for Bulgari's most remarkable projects – in particular those of an artistic nature, such as this collaboration with the painter Wang Yan Cheng. Its expressiveness comes with a unique ability to welcome the new into its own nature. And there is the knowledge that no two watches are alike. This is rooted in the Maison’s culture of high jewellery: Each piece of the Octo Roma Naturalia x Wang Yan Cheng is visually unique and comes with a more than century-old expertise of stones and colours that fuses design and technology, resonating with the primeval, organic forces of nature.
