Linda Zhang is a painter and mixed-media artist based in the Netherlands, working between painting and collage as two interconnected languages of the same artistic inquiry.

Her work explores how images change through time, memory, and perception. She is interested in what happens when an image is no longer fixed—when forms appear, disappear, and return in different ways. Rather than creating a complete or stable image, her works exist in a state of becoming, shaped by uncertainty, tension, and continuous transformation.

Through painting and collage, she explores the relationship between surface and what lies beneath. In her paintings, forms emerge through layers, gesture, and shifting space. In her collage works, printed images, paper, pigment, and scratching are used to tear, rebuild, and disturb the surface. Both are different ways of asking the same question: how can memory, absence, and change be held within an image?

Time is central to her work—not as a straight line, but as something layered, suspended, and repeatedly returning. Her practice is also quietly informed by the sensibility of Chinese ink traditions, especially through gesture, fluidity, and the space between form and emptiness.

Her works remain open and unresolved, allowing the image to stay in a continual process of becoming.
