Qian Qian, born in 1990 in Jiangxi, China, received her MFA in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2018. She now lives and works in Moray, Scotland. She is a cross-media artist, poet, and mother, working across watercolor, oil painting, and interactive installation, and has developed a practice she terms "Ecomythicism." Her work constructs reimagined ecologies, using the scientific logic of change and mythological narrative structures as metaphors that bridge the external world and internal perception.

In her painting practice, Qian Qian employs watercolor and water-soluble oil paints experimentally, combining them with other materials on paper and linen. Hybrid portraits, unconscious structures, electromagnetic waves, and fissures recur throughout her work, forming a complex visual language in which precise systems coexist with organic erosion. Through these processes, she explores the mutation and evolution of organic and inorganic systems.

Qian Qian further extends Ecomythicism into the public realm through participatory installations, transforming physical contact into perceptual and symbolic experience. In People Should Listen to the Birds Flying, she uses everyday conductive materials such as aluminum foil tape and copper coils, making touch a physical trigger that activates sound and memory. Her ongoing project The Book of Life continues this approach, inviting public narration of personal stories of "birth" and transforming individual experiences into collective symbol-making.
