Huiqin is a Chinese-Slovenian artist. She likes to make contemporary art like installations, performances, video installations, paintings and photographies, that unite cultures and histories of East and West. Her life is at the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures. Life changes and she changes with it, but change takes time... This has taught her to go with fate and follow her feelings whenever she is in a dilemma or making long-term plans.
