Tian Teng (b.1996 , China) is an oil-painter, who achieved her bachelor degree from University of Arts Utrecht (NL) and is currently pursuing MA Painting in Royal College of Arts (RCA). She is a recipient of the Basil H. Alkazzi Scholarship Award. In her recent work, she explores the process of assembling various images from her personal photo album into a single frame. Each element represents a unique fragment of her life, carrying personal memories and significance. By separating them from their original context and reorganizing them, her role of artist expands -- she becomes not just an artist, but also an editor, curator and director of her own world. As for the deeper meaning of her work, she believes that the best ending is always the open ending.

Tian has been nominated for the SBK Young Talent Award from SBK Uitleen & Galerie (2022), the Lakeside Collection Award (2021) and the Young Blood Award (2021). She has participated in art fairs and festivals including This Art Fair in Amsterdam (2025), UNFAIR Art Fair in Amsterdam (2024), the Springboard Art Fair Utrecht (2023) and the Young Collectors Circle Festival (2022).
