Xīn is a contemporary artist, poet, and performer of Chinese and Italian heritage. Through large-scale painting and immersive environments, her practice explores thresholds and liminality, fields of encounter between the body and vast ineffable systems of nature.
Informed by Eastern contemplative practice and engaging in trance, ritual, movement, and spontaneous mark-making with natural pigments, the bodymind is explored as cosmological axis where personal and planetary memory, deep time, and perception are registered through sensation and glyphic gestures. Xīn extends the paintings into immersive environments that explore the induction of altered states of attention through hypnotic sound engineering, spoken word, and ritual dance performance.
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. Her background includes a BSc in Psychology from the University of London, Stanford University Compassion Cultivation Training, and extended silent retreats studying Tibetan Buddhism in the Himalayas. Xīn is also a published writer and a spoken-word poet with work appearing in Mingled Voices, Cha: An Asian Literary Journal, and The Hopper.
