Kseniya Dueva, born in Moldova and trained in both pharmacy and traditional Chinese painting, works primarily with ink and brush on Xuan paper. Her technique fuses the expressive “free brush” (xieyi) style with minimalism and abstract influences, focusing on powerful lines, the interplay of ink and pigment, and the poetic use of empty space. Through her paintings, she evokes a deep sense of presence, stillness, and fleeting beauty—inviting viewers into a silent yet vibrant dialogue with nature and the spirit of each subject.
