Xinyu is an artist and designer whose work harmonizes the introspective poetics of Eastern traditions with the dynamic innovation of Western contemporary art. Born and raised in China, she began her artistic journey with a disciplined foundation in ink painting, watercolor, and oil, cultivating a balance between technical precision and emotional depth. Her studies at Pratt Institute in Interior Design and the University of Pennsylvania in Sustainable Design further enriched her perspective, merging the tangible dimensions of design with the transcendent qualities of fine art. Now based in Phoenix, Arizona, Xinyu continues to explore creative possibilities, drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes and cultural influences that shape her artistic vision.
Emotions live in all things—not just flesh. A lingering trace, a subtle shift, the quiet weight of emptiness. We forget how the world whispers back. Xinyu’s work listens. It follows the unspoken dialogue between presence and absence, uncovering the pulse of yearning in what others dismiss as inert. To paint is to translate—to give voice to unseen sorrow, quiet elation, and trembling stillness. Nothing is truly still. Nothing is truly silent. We are all in conversation.
