About Me
Australian Artist – Anchi Jian
I loved painting ever since I was a child. When I followed my parents to visit their friends, I would bring a pen and an art diary, and sketched the view while waiting for my parents. I studied design in high school but didn’t put much effort into art after that because of the pressure of school and university life. After graduating with a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design, I worked as a graphic designer.
In 2015, I moved from Taiwan to Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia. Its artistic culture and environment deeply attracted me, and the beautiful scenery and animals began to reawaken my inner love for art. Finally, in 2021, I started to focus on painting and completed my first work on canvas – “Before Reaching The Dream”, which is an expression of the road towards my dream of becoming an artist. I am honoured that this work won the 2021 American Art Award-IMPRESSIONISM–ANIMAL 6th Place-Tie.
Now, painting is the happiest and most enjoyable part of my day. I enjoy mixing paints and blending my favourite colours to create images. My work is mainly inspired by a combination of nature and life.
