Lives & works in London
Born in 1997 in Northern China and raised in Chengdu, Huang Junnan began her artistic journey in 2012 under the guidance of mentor Yan Zi. Her early dedication to art led her to the Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts, where she honed her skills in oil painting, earning a bachelor's degree in 2019. Her pursuit of artistic excellence continued with a master's degree in Chinese painting in 2022, reflecting a significant shift in her artistic focus.
Junnan's artistry is deeply influenced by her mentor, Yan Zi, particularly evident in her transition from Western to Chinese painting techniques. Her works, rich in cultural fusion, explore the symbiosis between Western and Chinese art traditions. Using traditional Chinese materials blended with Western compositional aesthetics, Junnan creates a unique visual language that is both personal and universal.
In her creations, Junnan harnesses painting as a medium for self-expression and healing. Her art is an invitation to viewers, offering a journey into shared experiences and emotions. Each piece serves as a testament to the transformative power of art in bridging personal and collective narratives. Her work not only reflects her inner world but also resonates deeply with the human condition, highlighting the timeless bond between art and the soul.
