Mengyi Grace Wang - Contemporary Artist 

Mengyi Grace Wang is a cross-cultural contemporary artist specializing in acrylic on canvas. She received her dual BAs in Art and Film & Media Studies from the University of California, Irvine, and her dual Master's degrees in Global Communication from the University of Southern California and the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her paintings often reflect her cross-cultural heritages and personal memories through the journey of narrative storytelling exploring the fusion of modern impressionism and traditional Chinese art.

Living in a cross-cultural environment, fusion has always been part of her journey, both personally and professionally, inspiring her to think beyond reflecting only one perspective. Her artwork presents a view of storytelling that spans the past, present, and future, to which she has a strong personal connection. She translates her memories and the influences that have shaped me into paintings. Her love for exploring nature is evident in her use of flowers, trees, water, and animals, which are crucial elements in her paintings.

Her current main series builds a connection between her personal memories and objects to present a narrative space. With the intentional use of empty space, she aims to create a dimension beyond the object and the environment in each painting, inviting viewers to use their imagination to walk through her narratives. This symbolic viewership connects her artworks with her audience, encouraging them to immerse themselves, reflect on their own imagination and possibilities, and find personal memories beyond what is shown in the painting.
