Statement
Zi Ling's early years mainly focused on etching, in which she was fascinated with mark making of abstract figures. Now Zi Ling communicates through portrait painting, especially using watercolour. The relationship between brush, colour and paper excites her.
Methodology
Zi Ling observes real-life people and also finds emotional moments from photographic images as inspiration. With watercolour, she trusts her intuition before making any marks. She thinks each portrait is a result of whatever truth one feels at the very beginning. Colour is very important because, for her, it represents different personalities and realities.
Bio
Zi Ling has been trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Chelsea College of Arts and Central Academy of Fine Arts China.
