ARTIST BIO
Monique Zhang is a Chinese-born artist living in Richmond, BC, Canada with her spouse. She works with acrylic, oil, watercolour, and selected fabrics. Her creative path began at the age of 13 with an early passion for drawing and painting. Although she holds a degree in graphic design, her artistic pursuits have always been deeply rooted in fine art.
Monique’s work explores the fundamental moments of childhood, drawing from personal experiences and emotional memory. Her paintings weave together dreamlike elements with a profound sense of intimacy, evoking a delicate interplay between memory and self-discovery. Currently, she is exploring a series that investigates the concept of regression to childhood, reflecting on its psychological dimensions and deeper meanings.
With a distinct visual language, her paintings have been acquired by private collectors and featured in exhibitions, drawing attention for their evocative storytelling and timeless aesthetic. As she continues to expand her artistic vision, Monique remains dedicated to creating work that resonates with emotional connection, offering a deeply personal yet universal experience.
