Xiaoyan Fan

Xiaoyan Fan, an artist born in China and based in Paris, works primarily with acrylics and dry pastels, drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western pictorial traditions. She masterfully combines layering, transparencies, erasures, and spontaneous gestures, creating compositions that straddle the line between abstraction and the evocation of inner landscapes. Through her works, she conveys a profound sense of resilience, introspection, and the traces left by memory, inviting contemplation and a connection with our own personal history.
