Na Xin (b. 1995, Chengdu, China) is a Hangzhou-based artist working between painting and material practice. She received her MA with Distinction from Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh, in 2020.

Her practice focuses on painting as a durational and material process. Rather than treating the canvas as a site of representation, she works within it as a responsive field where perception, rhythm, and material density are gradually attuned.

Extended periods of observation precede and accompany each work. Through repetition, restraint, and micro-adjustments of pressure and spacing, the surface accumulates as both structure and trace. Depth emerges through sedimentation rather than illusion. Mineral pigments, stone powder, resin, and particulate layers introduce weight and suspension, allowing light to diffuse and hover within compressed planes.

Using mineral pigments, stone powder, resin, and translucent strata, she constructs surfaces through accumulation and controlled opacity,allowing mystery to emerge from structure itself. The works construct suspended perceptual fields in which depth unfolds gradually, inviting the viewer into a slowed spatial experience.
