Co-founder at Lux Aeterna Paris.

Dongni was born in China in 1987. She has been passionate about the visual arts since a young age, practicing in her home country before crossing the border at 19 to join the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. After eight years of study, she graduated with a Master’s degree at the age of 27.

To better understand contemporary art and its concepts, she decided to move to France, where she studied for two years at the École Supérieure d’Art du Nord Pas-de-Calais. She now lives in France, and her paintings are represented by prestigious galleries in Paris, the United States, and other countries.

A portrait artist, Dongni is a remarkable example of artistic dedication. During her sessions, she encourages participants to go beyond technical gestures and capture the essence and emotion of the subject. Her workshops offer a unique perspective that aligns with Lux Aeterna’s approach: art as both an inner exploration and an outward expression.
