Qian Xiao

Born in China in 1971, Qian Xiao studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and taught art for 20 years. Now based in Gatineau, Quebec, she combines acrylics, oils, watercolor, and mixed media to explore themes of memory, identity, and technology. Her work fuses layered materials and embedded components to evoke the interplay of dream and reality, guiding viewers from surface to inner self. Xiao’s innovative technique reflects a sophisticated dialogue between materiality and meaning.
