Lin Hairong, born in 1975 in Heilongjiang, China, is a contemporary artist currently living and working between Beijing and Chongqing. She holds a Master’s degree from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. Known for her uniquely poetic visual language, Lin captures the subtle emotions of time and the quiet beauty of memory through her oil paintings.

Often described as a collector of time, Lin Hairong’s work gently awakens the past. Her canvases are infused with the soft fragrance of milk tea, where a quiet melancholy drifts through — elusive yet tender. She captures these fleeting emotions with restraint and grace, preserving them like fragments of forgotten dreams.
