ABOUT

Born and raised in Xinjiang, China, a city known for its cultural diversity, Bingjie “BJ” Cui is heavily influenced by ethnic aesthetics and the local spirit. The interesting jump between her ‘rational’ background in science and ‘emotional’ thinking in art allows her to create artwork that are corresponding to the literacy and texts.

She creates most of her work digitally, taking inspiration from daily life, social phenomena, and literature. Bold colors, whimsical, surreal elements, and visual puns reveal her passion for visual communication through powerful images.
