About the Artist:
Yue Zeng is a Chinese American self-taught artist, mother, and wife, who has been living in the United States since 2008 and currently resides in Woodbury, Minnesota. Zeng's artistic practice focuses on oil painting, with her subjects mainly being mythical creatures and animals. With a style between impressionism and fantasy, she explores the vividness of their spirit in saturated colors and organic forms. Zeng's interest in the arts started in elementary school, sparking her desire to create later in life. In her twenties she obtained her master's in science from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, New York. In 2017 due to physical complications, Zeng had to leave the chemistry industry. Transformed by the experience, she decided to revisit her art practice and make it her career regardless of the obstacles she would face. Since then, Zeng has flourished in her artistic expression, finding her true passion in oil painting. Although Zeng explores other painting mediums such as gouache, pastel, and digital, oil and canvas feels the most natural. This medium allows her to relax and be free with the changeability of the material and exploration of color within the subjects she paints.

  • "A group of glowing mushrooms light the entrance of forest at night.This is actually my first fantasy oil painting. I want the mushrooms to be bright as a light. So they are not just glowing fluorescent but they can actually light up a little area. Apparently, the middle one doesnt work. I like it. I think the broken mushroom light makes it more interesting." ~Yue Zeng My paintings are an outlet to express the imagination I have inside my head that I cannot put into words. After trying many mediums, I always find myself coming back to paint and brushes. In my current artistic practice, I use oil paint and mainly create portraits of mythical creatures and animals transfixed in the shifting colors of seascapes and landscapes. There is a natural spirit and magic to these creatures and their energy draws me in. Choosing to paint these creatures as real living wildlife rather than abstractions, I use bold and vivid colors to express the imaginary intertwined with reality, finding magic between the seams. Using a saturated color palette, I create bold and striking imagery, contrasted between foreground and background, subject and landscape, and light and darkness. Weaving their bodies and the surface of the landscape into each other through organic forms and flowing brush strokes, I find beauty, strength and innocence in these creatures that reflect my inner world.~Yue Zeng This painting will look amazing in the family, den or child's bedroom.
