About

Qing Yue (Clear Moon) is a painter and photographer born in Macau to an Italian father and a Chinese mother. She has lived in Macau, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai, Trieste and now resides and works between Italy and Austria. Qing Yue serves as President of Art Projects Association, APA - a non-profit association in Trieste.

Qing Yue explores her dual heritage through linocut and figurative painting, using diverse materials (silk, lurex, wood, velvet, gold and silver leaf, mirrors, photography, etc.) to create rich sensory experiences centered on the balance of yin and yang and the search of harmony.

Her work, featuring archaic Chinese imagery such as terracotta soldiers, fish, dragons, phoenixes, horses, birds, reflects a deep respect for nature and the sea. In line with this, she actively supports marine conservation by collaborating with the Mare Nordest Association in Trieste, organizing exhibitions on ocean protection, and personally collecting waste from the sea as a diver and swimmer.

Additionally, Qing Yue experiments with body art by transforming models into living, temporary works of art and has showcased her painted, recycled garments in fashion shows in Trieste and Austria. Since 1999, her work has been exhibited both in Italy and internationally (Austria, China, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, UK, USA) and is part of private collections and public institutions. She has served on art juries and participated in numerous international workshops.
