Born in Kunming, Yunnan, and trained in the classical material intelligence of ink, water, rice paper, and mineral pigments, she has taken the language of Chinese brush painting and submitted it to a radical re-reading through Dzogchen Buddhism and Yogācāra philosophy. The result of her ongoing project, named The Color of Surupa, is less a style than an epistemology. It proposes that abstract painting need not stop at the revolution of form; it can move, as Pu insists, toward an awakening of consciousness.

Pu Wei’s works transcend the boundaries of traditional artistic paradigms, standing as monumental testaments to the synthesis of Eastern philosophy and contemporary artistic expression. Her Void Realm Series demonstrates an unprecedented mastery of abstraction, not as a mere visual aesthetic but as a profound spiritual language. Much like Mark Rothko sought to explore the sublime through the expansive fields of color, Pu Wei explores the ineffable—rendering the spiritual and metaphysical into tangible form.
