A trained visual artist bridging Chinese artistic traditions and European contemporary practice.
My name is Shuchen — I grew up immersed in the Chinese art tradition, studying techniques like Gongbi (meticulous brush painting) and ink wash from a young age. My training continued in France, where I expanded into Western methods of drawing, painting, and composition.
Now based in Delft, I bring these two worlds together. In my workshops, each session explores either a new material, technique, or concept — just as we did in the professional ateliers where I trained. Whether it's the precision of Gongbi brushwork or the freedom of expressive oil painting, I believe the best way to grow as an artist is through diverse, hands-on exploration.
My goal is simple: to create a warm, focused studio space where people of all levels can discover and develop their unique artistic voice.
Trained in Gongbi, ink wash, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese painting techniques. Rooted in the meticulous atelier tradition of master-student learning.
Expanded into Western drawing, oil painting, composition, and contemporary visual arts. Developed a cross-cultural artistic perspective.
Founded the atelier at Kunsthuis DEIK, offering weekly workshops that bridge Eastern and Western artistic traditions. Building a creative community in Delft.
"Art is not just about technique — it's about seeing, feeling, and expressing. Every session is an invitation to explore a new way of making."
In my workshops, I share the creative learning style I grew up with. Each session is designed around a specific focus — a technique, a medium, a concept — so that over time, students build a broad and confident artistic foundation. The structure is professional, but the atmosphere is warm and encouraging.
I believe deeply in the atelier model: small groups, personal attention, and the freedom to develop your own path within a guided framework. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced creator looking for new inspiration, there's a place for you here.
