The opulent forms and patterns of Chinese artist Wanying Jin’s (b. 1995) paintings reflect the undefinable beauty of diverse female figures across the globe. Instead of being defined by conventional beauty standards, Jin uses patterns and geometric forms to embolden their character. ⁣

⁣𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 • Jin’s attention to the female form defines them as complex forms. Transcending the labels of muse and model, Jin alters the feminine appearance and gives them a multifaceted depth that alters the perspective of the viewer. Jin creates a more diverse standard that dives beneath the surface of what society deems beautiful through elegance and grace. ⁣

⁣“I cannot remember when I started to paint, however, for as long as I can remember, I have been drawing almost every day. I carry a little sketchbook with me all the time for inspiration.” — Wanying Jin for Foreign Look Magazine⁣
