Hsin-Yao Tseng 曾新耀, 1986 | Portraits and figure

Hsin-Yao has recognized by the Art Renewal Center as an ARC Living Master in 2014.

Hsin-Yao Tseng is a Taiwan born artist.

Hsin-Yao received his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in painting from Academy of Art University, San Francisco, in 2009 and his Master of Fine Art degree from the same university in 2012.

Hsin-Yao has a curiosity and energy that propel him toward experimentation and innovation; accordingly, he works in a range of genres: from lush evocations of San Francisco and other cities to expressive portraits and finally to lustrous interiors and exteriors in which multiple figures enact a story.

Hsin-Yao, having already developed a signature style, has had his work recognized by the major art magazines of today, as well as by an unprecedented number of highly prestigious galleries, especially at his young age.

Hsin-Yao’s technique in oil is brilliant and sure; he paints in a Romantic, expressive manner that honors the Western tradition while signaling an edgy, contemporary complexity.

While his technical mastery is superb it is never arid or facile. Hsin-Yao’s prose testifies to the fact that he is ambitious in the best sense; he is eager to push his art beyond what’s immediate and popular toward the timeless and real.

His dedication and interest in the arts are apparent from over ten years of hard work and academic studies.
