Anthea Xīn is a contemporary multi-media artist, poet & performer of dual Chinese/Italian heritage.
Anthea Xīn is a contemporary multimedia artist, poet, performer, and creative embodiment facilitator of Chinese and Italian heritage. Her work emerges through an embodied, somatic, and ritualised practice of expressionist painting, combined with an inner discipline informed by Taoist and Buddhist contemplative traditions connected to her ancestry.
Through her research, Xīn investigates the interplay of body and cosmos, positioning the human form as an evolving interface between the microscopic body and the vast event horizons of the universe. Her practice involves translating trance and liminal states through somatic responses, which are recorded as spontaneous mark-making, gesture, movement, and layered painterly form.
Her visual works have been featured in galleries, institutions, cultural festivals, and contemporary art publications, including My Modern Met, Fine Art Basel Hong Kong, and the Indonesian Institute of Art.
