Yafeng Duan

Yafeng Duan (*1973) was born in Hebei in northern China, in the shadow of the Great Wall. For the artist - now based in Berlin - nature is the mirror of the soul, and the source from which she draws is a spiritual one. Artistic creativity is a vehicle for approaching and exploring reality and transferring it through painting into non-spaces. Her pictures testify to her notion of a breath of energy, which spreads out into a great void and, thanks to the constitutive factors of yin and yang, solidifies into all manifestations of existence, only to pass away again.Text in English, Chinese and German.
