SIGRID QIAN
Sigrid Qian
B. China. Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Sigrid Qian’s work explores the intersection of memory, materiality, and the unknown, questioning the fluid boundaries between perception and reality. Driven by a deep curiosity about the spiritual and subconscious, her work investigates the spaces where the visible and invisible meet. Her paintings serve as portals to a world where personal histories merge with universal themes, using contrasts of opacity and translucency to reflect the shifting nature of identity, time, and perception. By layering oil paint, pastels, and graphite, Qian creates a dynamic tension between the ephemeral and the physical, inviting viewers to engage with themes of impermanence and continuity. Her work bridges personal and collective memory, seeking meaning in the text.
