Wei Ying lives and works in Suzhou, China. Her practice centers on acrylic and mixed media, with ink serving as a foundational visual language within her work. She often begins by laying down ink on paper-based surfaces, using the natural absorption and diffusion of ink to establish an initial rhythm and sense of atmosphere. Through the subsequent layering of different materials, the image gradually gains clearer structure, line, and depth. The interaction of materials allows her works to retain the fluidity and breath of ink while developing a more pronounced contemporary presence and spatial complexity.

Her works unfold through abstract and restrained forms, avoiding literal imagery or fixed narratives. Instead, she focuses on the relationships between material, color, and texture to evoke an emotional state that can be sensed rather than explained. The compositions remain open yet grounded, offering a quiet strength that reveals itself over time. Through the use of mixed media, her paintings achieve richer visual layers and tactile resonance, allowing them to exist in a space between painting and materiality within a contemporary context.
