HSIN HWANG
Hsin Hwang is a Taiwanese artist who focuses on painting, printmaking, and mixed media. Frequently inspired by fairy tales, myths, and mysticism, she draws upon imagery from dreams, beliefs, and personal experiences to depict her inner landscapes. Using vibrant colors and childlike symbols, she explores complex psychological themes and feminine power. In 2023, while studying in London, she joined a Jungian reading group, where she began delving into concepts such as the collective unconscious, shadow, and archetypes. By integrating her personal experiences into her work, she examines themes of love, loss, trauma, healing, and spirituality.
Artist Statement
My practice explores mythology, faith, and the subconscious, weaving narratives that transcend cultural and geographical boundaries. Through painting, printmaking, textiles, and installation, I examine the intersections of personal spirituality and collective belief systems. Influenced by fairy tales, mysticism, and Jungian psychology, I use dream imagery and symbolic elements to depict inner spiritual landscapes. With vibrant colors and a childlike visual language, I explore transformation, devotion, and resilience, focusing on the evolving roles of women in myth and belief.
In recent years, my work has become increasingly rooted in cross-cultural exchange and the narratives of the Global South. Immersing myself in diverse cultural contexts, I research folklore, myths, and spiritual traditions, reinterpreting Taiwan’s indigenous and folk narratives alongside global symbols of nature and femininity. Through this process, I try to create a visual language that bridges traditions, illuminating the universal motifs of female transformation, ancestral wisdom, and nature worship while exploring their shifting meanings across cultures.
By reweaving myths across time and place, I seek to reveal both shared resonances and cultural distinctions within the collective unconscious. At the same time, I remain committed to reinterpreting Taiwan’s indigenous and folk traditions through a contemporary lens, highlighting their fluidity and enduring relevance.
