About

Fiona(Xiaochen) Bao is an artist who was borned in a city that is extremely rich in cultural history and traditional art. Profoundly influenced by Tibetan Buddhist doctrines, she wishes her art to transmit similar positive and natural energy to the environment and viewers while inspiring meditation.

She is inspired by both eastern and western ancient poems, songs, fairy tales, myths and dreams. She tries to connect our world with an intimate and warm spiritual environment where magical and transcendent discoveries take place.
Delivering the message of hope and peace to contemporary society through traditional paintings has always been one of her artistic goals. She explores themes such as femininity, tranquility, compassion, hope, and enlightenment by creating imaginary, dreamy and fantastical images. In her paintings, she plays the sadness therapist and the peace creator.
