Chiayun’s practice spans painting and sculpting. Her artistic journey began in her hometown, Taipei, and has since taken her to London, Antwerp, Brussels, Bergamo, and now Paris. She draws inspiration from both grand and subtle moments in her changing surroundings. Growing up in a four-generation female household, femininity became ingrained in her—an instinct that naturally finds its way into her imagery.
At the heart of her art is a meditation on the quiet act of being. Her works explore the tenderness of existence, the layers of belonging, receiving, surrendering, and giving. Each creation reflects the intimate connections that bind us to ourselves and our surroundings, celebrating presence in all its vulnerability.
She engages in writing poems as a form of journaling to recollect memories and feelings, which complement her art. She uses acrylic paint, coloured pencils, and graphite to mark on paper and canvas. She shapes forms with clay and plaster extemporaneously, creating images that reflect her emotional landscapes.
