About the Artist

Yan Qiao

Netherlands

Based in the Netherlands and born in Beijing, I bring a unique global perspective and an analytical eye to the fluid, unpredictable world of contemporary watercolor. For over two decades, my life was anchored in the structured realm of law, working as an experienced in-house legal counsel. Yet, as the demands of my legal career intensified, so did my need for a creative counterweight. I turned to watercolor—a medium that requires a beautiful balance of precise control and letting go.

Having lived across cultures, my artwork naturally reflects a rich tapestry of environments. My paintings bridge diverse worlds: from the symbolic, storytelling depth of my Chinese heritage and the sun-baked, ancient stones of coastal Spain, to the iconic, moody drama of the Dutch skies right outside my window in Den Bosch.

Whether capturing the quiet tranquility of a rain-soaked canal, the fleeting warmth of a Mediterranean alleyway, or a playful, unexpected moment between surfacing koi, my work invites viewers to slow down and find the poetry hidden in plain sight.
