Mile Qian is a grade nine student currently attending Singapore American School in Singapore. Her artistic path began when she was around six years old. Now, almost a decade later, Mile is producing portfolio works that incorporate a variety of different methods and mediums. In recent years, her art has moved from being purely aesthetic to more conceptually based productions.
Her inspiration as an artist is derived from content related to environmental issues. She uses expressive mediums such as cardboard and bleach to speak to issues tied to deforestation as well as the acidification of oceans. Overall, her work is driven not so much by the idea itself, but rather how to best express the idea using whatever mediums or methods work best.
Mile hopes that her work will prompt people to think about the issues she is expressing and, in turn, make progressive changes for the betterment of both humanity and the planet.
