HONG-YI ZHUANG Chinese

“My art is about happiness, enrichment, and re-enchantment. Today there is so much negativity and pain in the world; I want people to feel joy by reconnecting them with the calmness of nature. It’s why the flower is so dominant in my paintings. Flowers are a universal and unifying symbol for peace and prosperity."

Zhuang Hong Yi is renowned for his vibrant, three-dimensional flowerbed sculptures created from painted rice paper. Living between China and Europe, Zhuang masterfully blends his Chinese heritage with Western influences, creating art that embodies beauty, nature, and joy. His work, rooted in floral motifs, symbolizes prosperity and happiness, and has been featured in numerous prestigious exhibitions around the world, including the Venice Biennale.

Zhuang's art extends beyond floral imagery to include mixed media works that combine ink, acrylic, and oil paint with materials such as wood, porcelain, and metal. This versatility has led to a dynamic body of work that constantly evolves while maintaining his signature themes of nature and beauty.
