Bio

Cindy Niu (b. 1994) is a New York–based painter whose work explores themes of nostalgia, transformation, and identity. Investigating the beauty and anxiety of change, she creates gestural, abstracted landscapes that blend dreamlike palettes and layered mark-making — suspending inner states as imagined spaces that invite imagination, contemplation, and reverie.

Cindy holds a B.A. in Social Studies from Harvard University and spent nearly a decade working as a brand strategist and designer before turning fully toward art. She has always been driven by a shameless sentimentality, a preoccupation with the human condition, and a persistent inquiry into life’s existential questions.
