Miao is a freelance artist who graduated from School of visual arts in New York, and as a graphic designer and freelance artist, he has been participating in various exhibitions, art festivals, and artist residency projects. In recent years, Miao’s focus has been mainly on nature arts, and his mediums include but not limited to video, sound/music, performance, installation, etc.

Through the perception and extraction of nature’s spirituality, he presents new perspectives in his creative ways; like plants, art needs to grow freely. He thinks that artists should be able to create new possibilities rather than merely copying what already exists. He hopes that his works can help reawakening people's sense towards nature, and finding the original spirit from the wild and the indigenous cultures. He encourages audiences to go out of the urban areas more often, and find the corners where nature and city intersects.

The materials that he uses are mostly taken from surrounding ecosystem, and he’s not fond of the interference from artificial tools. “Blank” is a frequent expression in his works. Sometimes blank and silence can connect modern life with wilderness, and it’s also a common language between the East and the West.
