Artist

Fengdan Qin
Fengdan Qin was born in 1997, in Beijing. Qin is currently living and working in Brussels. She acquired her graduate degree (Grand distinction) in 2022 from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels.
The body of her work seeks to explore the nature of existence, melding the realms of pictorial pleasures, post-modern literature, and the fascinating science of natural history that binds each species together. As the painter explains, when the language of painting fails to assure her, she looks to science to sustain her visions.
Through her work, she aims to evoke a profound sense of wonder, introspection, and appreciation for the natural world that surrounds us.At the heart of her creative process lies a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of all living beings. Her imagination transcends time and space, intertwining past, present, and future. The human body, in all its vulnerability and resilience, becomes a muse through which she explores the essence of existence. Flesh, with its ephemeral nature, becomes a fundamental essence through which the stories of life's intricate tapestry are etched.
