Wang Huiqin ( Chinese: 王惠琴; pinyin: Wāng Huìqín; born 21 October 1955) is a Chinese- Slovenian artist: painter, calligrapher, book illustrator and author. [1]
Wang Huiqin was born in Nantong, China in 1955. She graduated from the department of fine arts at the Nanjing Faculty of Education. In 1983, Wang came to Slovenia where she specialized in graphic arts and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. She lives and works in Ljubljana. Her creative medium is visual art and also writing. She collaborates with the Department for Asian and African Studies and with the Arts Faculty of the University of Ljubljana where she teaches calligraphy and Chinese art. [2] In 2000, she became senior university assistant professor for drawing and calligraphy.
She represents an extremely precious addition to Slovenian multiculturalism. She lives the Asian-European experience in her own way, as a sensitive creator that unites ontological experiences of the Western and Eastern painting traditions with the intimate experience of a displaced person-woman. In 2005, Slovenian Times chose her for the cultural personality of the year. She represented Slovenian artists at the entry of Slovenia into the European Union and exhibited in Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Austria and Germany. She has had a lot of exhibitions in Slovenia and China. She has illustrated and also written a number of children's books for Slovene publishers, most often tales and stories with Far Eastern references. [3]
In 2008 she has started Ferdinand Avguštin Hallerstein, a big project with a lot of different events, exhibitions and an illustrated book.
Her husband is Slovenian sinologist Mitja Saje.
