BELIEVE (2022) Painting by Xiaoyang Galas

Xiaoyang Galas is a contemporary Chinese artist based in France. She has forged a unique artistic path that bridges the rich traditions of the East with the diverse influences of the West. Born with a passion for visual expression, she dedicated her academic pursuits to the world of art, earning a master's degree in Chinese art history and art criticism from the prestigious Sichuan Fine Art Academy in China, where she also delved into the intricate realm of Fine Art (Painting).

In her compelling paintings, Xiaoyang Galas masterfully amalgamates various techniques, employing a blend of acrylic, oil, collage, and even plant tissues. The resulting compositions create a captivating patchwork effect, where seemingly disparate elements coalesce seamlessly. Her fearlessness in the use of colors, juxtaposed with subtle nuances of honeyed acids, reveals an artist unafraid to transcend conventional boundaries. Notably, Xiaoyang incorporates writing into her visual tapestry, intertwining Chinese, French, and English characters, often drawing inspiration from frequently used words in the Holy Bible.

In a departure from the prevalent darkness and sorrow in the world, Xiaoyang articulates a profound shift in her artistic narrative. She expresses, "There is so much darkness and sorrow in this world, I no longer want to paint the dark side. I would like my art to be a tribute to the beauty of this world… I want it to be heartwarming for all people… a message of peace and love." Her philosophy underscores the belief that life is a purposeful journey, and art, in turn, becomes a playful yet meaningful game.
