Eve Yifan Jiang is a Chinese painter whose work navigates the space between personal memory and collective imagery. Her practice combines traditional painterly techniques with contemporary approaches to colour and form, creating layered compositions that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Often drawing from fragments of dreams, urban encounters, and cultural references, Jiang’s paintings capture moments of transition and transformation.
Her canvases are characterised by a sensitivity to surface and texture, with brushwork that suggests both immediacy and reflection. By interweaving delicate tonal shifts with bolder gestures, she builds visual narratives that are simultaneously intimate and expansive. Jiang frequently incorporates subtle references to Chinese visual culture and symbolism, situating her work within a global dialogue while remaining anchored in personal heritage.
Jiang’s work has been presented in exhibitions across the UK, Europe, and Asia, and has attracted attention for its lyrical handling of form and atmosphere. Alongside her studio practice, she continues to explore interdisciplinary collaborations that broaden the scope of her painting, engaging with questions of identity, belonging, and the fluid nature of memory.
