Bio

Cindy Niu (b. 1994) is a New York–based painter whose work explores pleasure, presence, and the landscape of the unconscious. For her, painting is a form of searching that allows her to trust sensation before cognition – embracing play, surrender, and ultimately, embodiment.

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.
