Cao Naiyu
Born in Xinyang, a city in Henan, China, Naiyu developed her passion for painting from early experiences in learning the visual arts. She uses watercolour and acrylic paint as her primary media of art-making and her work inspired by her family, as well as personal and emotional experiences.
Naiyu's visual inspiration comes from pop culture, such as animation, and she is also interested in aspects of design such as fashion and jewellery.
