About Artist
Na Xin (b. 1995, Chengdu, China) is a Hangzhou-based abstract painter whose practice explores inward perceptual spaces through layered material processes and symbolic forms of light. Working with wood panels, mineral pigments, stone powder, resin, and granular surfaces, she constructs paintings that move between abstraction and subtle figuration.
Her work is rooted in an interest in inner stillness, psychological space, and the fragile forms of “inner light” that persist beneath social pressure and emotional restraint. Through accumulation, sanding, opacity, and sedimentation, her surfaces develop slowly, inviting viewers to move between distance and proximity and enter a contemplative mode of looking.
Na Xin received her MA with Distinction from Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh, in 2020. Her work has been exhibited in the UK and China.
Artist Statement
My practice explores inward perceptual spaces through layered painting, light, and material accumulation. Working with wood panels, mineral pigments, stone powder, resin, and granular surfaces, I construct images that move between abstraction and symbolic forms of light.
Recurring elements such as stars, moons, halos, and luminous points do not function as representations of celestial bodies. Instead, they act as anchors into an inner psychological space. I am interested in light not as a physical phenomenon, but as an inward condition — something subtle, fragile, and often obscured beneath social pressure, emotional restraint, and everyday noise.
Through layering, sedimentation, sanding, and controlled opacity, surfaces gradually accumulate weight and atmosphere. Mineral pigments and particulate matter introduce resistance and gravity, while resin diffuses and suspends light, allowing the painting to oscillate between density and stillness.
Rather than depicting external vastness, the works attempt to construct a condition of inward expansiveness — a space where viewers may slow down, move between distance and proximity, and reconnect with something quieter that remains difficult to name, yet deeply familiar.
Each artwork is carefully packaged and shipped directly from the artist’s studio.
Tracking information will be provided once dispatched.
Delivery times may vary depending on destination and customs processing.
International orders may be subject to local import duties or taxes.
