Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Huaixuan Xiang has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Huaixuan is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist and illustrator based in New York, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 33rd Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her work to be showcased in this feature.
Her Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting her artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Huaixuan’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her Rule of Dreams series of oil paintings submitted to this competition.
Huaixuan Xiang is a New York-based illustrator, painter, and occult practitioner who graduated from the School of Visual Arts and is currently pursuing a master's degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She acts as a messenger, channeling insights from her meditations and dreams into her work, and seeks to create pieces that invite audiences to feel the full energy of human emotion.
Huaixuan has completed an extensive body of work for both personal and commercial clients. She served as the illustrator for the visual novel An Outcast in Another World and as a character designer for Somndus Studio. Her work has also been featured in numerous gallery shows and exhibitions, including the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery and ArtExpo New York.
Huaixuan's art is more than a reflection of her imagination. It is a universal language of emotion and mystery. Through her work, she invites viewers to resonate deeply and to see themselves reflected in the world she creates.
My work is deeply shaped by dreams and meditation, giving it a surreal and introspective quality. Before painting, I immerse myself in the memory of a dream — recalling its smallest details and, more importantly, reconnecting with the emotions I felt. I amplify those feelings until they become physically intense, and I hold onto that sensation throughout the entire process. The images and emotions in my work often echo shared experiences rooted in cultural memory, and I believe that as people grow older, they gradually lose touch with their feelings. My paintings are an effort to fully capture those feelings before they fade.
I believe the emotions an artist puts into a work do not disappear. They remain embedded like imprints. Because emotion is a universal language, viewers from any background can connect with what lives inside an image. I hope my paintings awaken personal memories and invite each viewer to feel something of their own.
Alongside traditional painting, I work digitally as a fantasy illustrator, exploring epic and spiritual themes influenced by meditation and the occult. Even in digital work, I strive to recreate the texture of traditional painting and center the inner emotional life of each character.
I believe art is the highest form of hope, and through mine, I invite viewers to step into a world of memory and feeling.
