Chi Shaoting
Artist, Calligrapher & Lecturer

Chi Shaoting is a Chinese-Ukrainian artist, calligrapher, and lecturer, as well as a member of the Cultural Club in Weifang, China, and the Artists’ Union of Ukraine.

In 2011, she graduated from the Faculty of Art and Design at Kyiv University and subsequently continued her studies with renowned Chinese artists in Beijing, China.

Since 1998, she has lived in Ukraine while maintaining close ties with her homeland and actively promoting cultural exchange between China and Ukraine. In 2022, her house in the Bucha district was completely destroyed during the Russian attack on Kyiv, resulting in the loss of all the works she had created throughout her artistic life. This experience did not break Chi Shaoting; instead, it strengthened her professionalism, opened new creative paths, and inspired fresh projects and ideas, as she continues to thoughtfully develop her artistic practice.

Chi Shaoting has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions worldwide and remains actively engaged in the international art scene. Her works are held in museums as well as in private collections. She currently lives and teaches in Düsseldorf, Germany.

In 2011, she graduated from the Faculty of Art and Design at Kyiv Pedagogical University.
