Xia Hands

My interest in drawing has been evident since a very early age. I specialize in charcoal watercolors, acrylic ink paintings, with a strong emphasis on portraits.


Each of my artworks is handcrafted from scratch, without the aid of digital tools. I can create drawings using photographs as references, or paint from live.


In recent years, I have explored acrylic and oil painting as new mediums.

Acrylic paint boasts vibrant, saturated colors, making it an excellent choice for portrait painting.

Oil painting is highly versatile and works beautifully for portraiture. I find it particularly well-suited for capturing live models.


I also have a deep appreciation for abstract art, which allows for spontaneous and direct expression from the inner self. I enjoy creating abstract pieces as a way to balance the intense attention to detail found in my portrait work.
