Luo Tian Tian , born in 1983, belongs to China's post-80s generation. This generation often uses art to express their growth, life, emotions, and struggles, keenly and authentically portraying the prevalent state of the only-child generation. This form of realistic art, termed "Only-Child Realism," is characterized by a complex psychological mode centered on self-awareness, reflecting a high level of personal experience transmission. It shows a shift from focusing on significant social and historical changes to a deeper exploration and expression of diverse individual experiences and emotions within the broader context of the times.

Her subjects display the self-characteristics of this generation: kindness, simplicity, sensitivity, confusion, loneliness, imagination, and self-concern. They seem to strive for an absolutely perfect self-world. This perfect aesthetic experience stems from the superior sense developed during the growth of the only-child generation. However, her work does not merely depict a blissful, utopian world but attempts to illustrate the existential dilemmas of this generation, even touching on a poetic state of philosophical tragedy and a quasi-religious sense of tragedy. The 80s generation, too, has its quasi-religious realm, which appears as an illusion of ethereal nothingness, romanticism with a sense of alienation and estrangement.
