Jiang Miao was born in Jilin in 1981. She is a diverse artist and specializes in contemporary Woodblock Printmaking. She obtained a B.A.F. in 2005 and a M.A.F. in 2009 with a major in Woodblock Printmaking from the top Chinese Art School – The Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Her artworks have been collected by various museums and galleries around the world.
Since 2003, she has committed to the idea of yin/yang, point/line, and energy/life interpretation, thus forming an eastern worldview of “Nature and Man as one”. In recent years, Jiang has been working on themes concerning life. By applying “trigram”, “spiral” as a symbol of soul, and energy-releasing “colors” as major visuals, her works suggest living truth of spirit, the soul, and body; they absorb energy from the invisible, then, release spiritual energy and magnetic field into the physical world, casting continuous thoughts for the future civilization on the excessive materialized current world.
色彩斑澜的丙烯作品的表面底下蕴含着二十层以上的色彩，每一层皆由艺术家采集当下的阳光、风、空气和温度，纪录下自身感知，由艺术家本人封存累积的时光宝盒，又在她的雕刻刀起落之间，能量一层层地逐渐被开启。画作里的点线面以及每一个色彩都像是活络的细胞，围绕着漩涡，在这里面共生共荣，涅槃重生。
