Artworks by Nan Zhao

"I am a Chinese artist who has had the privilege of living and working in various countries, including China, the UK, Czech Republic, and Germany. These multicultural experiences have significantly influenced my art, which revolves around themes of diversity, similarity, and emotional culture. My artistic journey began after earning a degree in graphic design and industrial arts from Beijing Institute of Technology. Initially, I worked in animation design in China, but my life took a turn when I moved to the UK in 2016. There, I rediscovered my passion for painting. In 2021, I made the decision to pursue a full-time career in art. My art is a fusion of realism and abstraction, characterized by vibrant colors, layered textures, and abstract elements. My goal is to evoke complex emotions and stimulate thought through my work. I draw inspiration from diverse cultural experiences and aim to bridge cultural gaps and bring people together through art. My artworks have been collected by private individuals and institutions in more than ten countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, China, Australia, Canada, Japan, France, South Korea, and Turkey."
