Yunna Qiu
Yunna named her painting “The Painted Story” to depict a fleeting moment of human emotion or to delve into the solitary minds of idiosyncratic characters. She often views individuals as lonely islands. “We are all born alone and die
alone, but in our brief time on Earth, we constantly search for connections and meaning.” Her painting explores the enforced solitude of urban life or reveals the secret relationships hidden in plain sight.The painting aims to capture the modern human experience in all its beauty and cruelty, its splendor and banality. “The Painted Story” is inspired by present-day Brooklyn,
New York, but transcends the historical circumstances of the present. It creates a parallel universe that offers a panoramic view of people and places, all occurring within a world that is both familiar and strange, absurd yet delightful.
