Wenjie Lin has been living and working in France for over 10 years. It was the Arts and especially painting that pushed her to leave her native China in 2011. She was born and raised in Canton, the capital of Guangdong province in the South of the country and the third most populous city. She chose to join the Beijing High School, which is attached to the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts. It was during his schooling, thanks to the discovery of Art History, that the idea of becoming an artist was born. With the support of his father, Wenjie Lin then joined the Central Academy of Fine Arts, from which a lot of famous artists came from and chose the institute «Oil Painting». She was the student of Liu Xiaodong, one of the most renowned contemporary Chinese artists.
After eight years in Beijing, Wenjie Lin dreams of travelling and continues her studies in France, at the Ecole Supérieure d’Art et de Design Le Havre-Rouen, on the campus of the city of Rouen where she settled. She travelled throughout Europe and enriched her art through her discoveries and exhibitions.
Her painting, always figurative, illustrates scenes from our daily lives and reveals these most ordinary moments in a different light.
Wenjie Lin invites us to read her works in our own way, with our own experience and to go beyond pictorial images. The one who confides in 2018 that «The most important thing is to be sincere in front of each creation» and hopes «to be able to propose a positive vision of life in my painting» has succeeded !
