Ming Ying

Ming Ying’s series of oil paintings delves into the symbolic and emotional essence of female identity, blending historical and cultural narratives with a deeply personal exploration of form and texture. Working with heavy impasto oil paint, Ying uses thick, expressive layers to create a tactile experience, inviting viewers to not only see but feel the depth of her work. Each brushstroke is a deliberate act of storytelling, where the physicality of the paint itself echoes the complexity and strength of the women portrayed. With an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2020, her work has been awarded and short- listed for a number of prestigious prizes including: First prize of “Effect Edge” International Juried Exhibition (2019); Winner of Khojaly Peace Prize for Art (2017); Chadwell Award (2020) Lynn Painter-Stainer Prize (2018); Ashurst Emerging artist prize (2018).
