MY STORY
Yingge Xu is an Oriental brush painting and meditation teacher who brings a deeply rooted tradition of art and mindfulness to her work. From an early age, she studied Tai Chi, meditation, and calligraphy alongside her father while growing up in China.
She later trained at the Chinese Flower and Bird Painting Institute and continued her studies with renowned ink brush artists in both China and Japan, developing a rich and authentic practice.
Since moving to Ireland in 2015, Yingge has been sharing her work through meditative brush painting workshops and retreats across Ireland and the UK. Her sessions offer a calm and reflective space where participants can connect with creativity, mindfulness, and inner stillness.
Finding a Deeper Meaning Through Your Brush
"Mind, Heart and your Hand will come to the connection through your Brush".
I believe ink painting/ calligraphy is not only an art format, but also a way to get connected with yourself, to be present and to know yourself...
I always draw since the first time I can hold a pen, then I never put it down. I studied different art format, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor and until I got my first ink brush set from my father as a gift, I felt I found a lost friend that has been waiting for me all these past years. I fall in love with this beautiful and special art format. I studied in China Flower and Bird Painting Institute and continued my learning with ink brush artists from China, Japan and throught the wisdom that left from our ancestors thousand years ago.
Moving to Ireland since 2015, I found it pretty amazing how meditation was applied in different culture settings and also it brought me a new perspective of my art and culture background. This led the roads to join where I found a deeper level of meditative presence and art practice as a ‘’wholeness’’ experience instead of two separate activities. And that’s where you meet the Dao. Now I feel more than privileged and humbled to share with you what I have learned and be honored to walk with you in this Meditative Ink Brush Journey.
Painting is like another format of meditation. When you are not looking for the perfect art result but just focus on your inner self, your breath, your being, you will find your hand will start to paint by itself.
