Jiang Miao's artistic creations stem from her exploration of life, the soul, and universal energy. Utilizing the measure of heaven and earth as the core of her thinking, she presents profound reflections on the value of life, the universe, and human existence. Born in Jilin Province, China, Jiang Miao graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a master's degree. With a solid foundation in academic skills, she has gone through years of creative direction selection, from realism and printmaking to her current style. Utilizing the unique technique of carving and painting with printmaking knives, she constructs intricate acrylic paintings that establish her personal style.
Her works resemble a diary, recording each day's perception of light and the energy emitted by the universe with rich abstract colors. Each of Jiang Miao's works contains more than twenty layers of abstract paintings, with each layer carrying the artist's perception at the moment of creation, and energy and color converging layer by layer. Through Jiang Miao's carving knife, these paintings are revealed stroke by stroke, bringing forth past light and shadow colors. The works transform from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and time and space are seemingly preserved and displayed in a three-dimensional form.
Breaking through the concept of two-dimensional space in flat artwork, Jiang Miao's works are like flowing life forms, extending into a profound and mysterious three-dimensional time and space. Like the artist's description of her work "Taoist Trinity and the Self," it is like a vast universe and an ecological circle. The dots, lines, planes, and each color in the painting are like active cells, revolving around the vortex, coexisting and co-prospering, and undergoing rebirth after nirvana. Opening the notebook containing her philosophical musings on the universe, life, and human values, Jiang Miao creates a transcendent poetic space.
Since childhood, Jiang Miao has had a profound understanding of ancient civilizations and Eastern philosophy. She uses elements such as "rotation," "heavenly eyes," and "eight trigrams" to outline the mystery of universal energy, reflecting her deep contemplation on the soul, spirit, and body.
These paintings are not just flat artwork but three-dimensional works with depth and dimensionality. Each layer contains the artist's perception and emotion, each layer is a memory of a period of time, and each layer weaves a poetic world. Depth, light and dark, and warm and cold colors show an unlimited sense of rhythm in layer-by-layer overlay and deepening transition, recording the light and warmth of the artist's life. Jiang Miao is not just an artist but also a philosopher. Her works embody profound contemplation on the universe, life, and human values, creating a transcendent poetic space, and reflecting her deep contemplation on the soul, spirit, and body.
In addition to acrylic sculpture painting, the artist also created the "Water. Sphere" series, using color, light, and spatial layout to create her complex and delicate thoughts and energy. These works blend the artist's feelings about all things in the world and convey her enlightenment through landscape elements. At this time, the artist delves into the inner realm and opens up her perception of life, shifting from concrete representation to the abstract spiritual level. The creation is the crystallization of her spiritual journey over many years, making her work not only an art form but also an expression of the soul and a display of profound thinking.
