20 of USA’s Best Galleries & Museums vote in the AMERICAN ART AWARDS, arguably the most prestigious online art competition. In 2022, painters, sketchers, digital artists, photographers and sculptors from 69 countries submitted JPEGs for the 50 categories — to win gallery affiliation, career launch, high scores, great press and/or $5,000 in prizes.

Here are the winners in CATEGORY 11, EROTIC — FEMALE.

1st Place Bio: Xueping Zhang

Born in China, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, majoring in graphic design. She spent her early career in graphic design, receiving many awards for her works.

In the early 1990s, she immigrated from China to Sweden. At that time, she also transitioned from graphic design to figurative painting. Influenced by the Yunnan style from China, she painted in vibrant colors using oil, watercolor, and gouache. In 1997, she held her first solo exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden. The show was very successful, and most of her paintings were sold.

After immigrating to the United States in 1997, Xueping continued to focus on painting, sharing her work in solo and group exhibitions.

In 2014, she became drawn to intricate drawings in black and white that are inspired by the daily lives of women and the beauty of nature. Her goal is to capture a form and posture that express the woman’s emotions while surrounding her with an atmosphere of peace, harmony, and balance. Each piece of artwork is intricately planned and created with the delicate strokes of a pen. https://xueping-zhang.pixels.com/
