Chiayun’s practice spans painting and sculpting. Her artistic journey began in her hometown, Taipei, and has since taken her to London, Antwerp, Brussels, Bergamo, and now Paris. She draws inspiration from both grand and subtle moments in her changing surroundings. Growing up in a four-generation female household, femininity became ingrained in her—an instinct that naturally finds its way into her imagery.

At the heart of her work is a meditation on the quiet act of being. Her pieces explore the tenderness of existence, the layers of belonging, receiving, surrendering, and giving. Each creation reflects the intimate connections that bind us to ourselves and to our surroundings, celebrating presence in all its vulnerability.

She works with oil paint, acrylic, oil pastel, and graphite on paper and canvas, and shapes forms with clay and plaster through an intuitive, extemporaneous process. Writing is woven into her practice, running alongside her visual work like a second current. Through words, she captures the textures of memory, emotion, and daily life, threading them into the fabric of her paintings and sculptures. Her self-published book marks a deepening of this thread, revealing the delicate conversations between language and image.
