Jia Wei

Jia Wei

Jia Wei is a promising artist who won the Grand Prix at “FACE” (SOMPO Art Foundation) which has become a gateway to success for emerging artists.

Wei, who is from Taiwan, uses acrylics, pastels, airbrushing, and other techniques to create works with soft colors and a pleasantly lingering feel woven into the margins of her paintings.

In addition to paintings, Wei is also influenced by novels and films, expanding her worldview. Wei’s works project the artist’s unique “now”.
