Danqi Qian (b. 1997, Nanjing, China) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She received her BA in Interactive Media Art from China Academy of Art. Working with oil pastel and oil paint, Qian scrapes rainbow-like blends from primary colors, each mark holding the speed and pressure of her hand. She adds soft highlights to evoke inner light. Influenced by Daoist philosophy, her work unfolds through connected parts, reflecting vulnerability, desire, and the quiet emergence of freedom.
