Her pictorial works transport us to an imaginary place of chimerical lands, openning the gates of an elsewhere somewhere between fable, tales and comedy.

The scenes she depicts evoke, in a poetic manner, the world of dance and fables. Her still lifes are sexed and cartoon characters coexist with zany or familiar animals.

At first glance, a certain naivety may veil the works of the Indonesian artist. A deeper glance reveals a soundly rooted social conscience.

Since her first exhibitions in 2013, her work has traveled throughout Europe, the United States and Asia. Ronnie Jiang now lives and works in Paris.
