The art of Xiaoyang Galas

Xiaoyang Galas is a Chinese artist who lives and works in France. She studied Fine Arts (Painting) and obtained a master’s degree in Chinese Art History and Art Criticism from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in China.

In her paintings, Xiaoyang seeks to unite East and West. Her technique, often mixed media, acrylic, oil, collage and plant fabrics, can give an impression of patchwork. This effect, in its simplicity, is far from being inconsistent or incongruous. The artist is not afraid to mix colours and honeyed acids. He also uses writing: Chinese, French and English characters, words frequently used in the Holy Bible.

“There is so much darkness and pain in this world that I no longer want to paint the dark side. I would like my art to be a tribute to the beauty of this world… I want it to be comforting to all people… a message of peace and love…”
‘For me, life is a journey with a purpose, art is a game with meaning.’
Xiaoyang Galas artistically expresses the sole hope of conveying a message of peace and love. His gift is to magnify what is essential in life.

Xiaoyang Galas’ works are held in private and public collections around the world.
