gel_z is a multidisciplinary artist, surfer, snowboarder and musician whose work bridges painting, design and immersive creative experiences. Deeply connected to natural rhythms and the spiritual flow of energy, gel_z brings an elemental vitality to her art—often weaving in Reiki, surf culture and a raw immediacy that speaks to both personal and collective transformation.
Together, their works create a dialogue across continents and generations—melding Chinese and American perspectives, academic rigor and intuitive flow, tradition and experimentation—inviting viewers to step into a space where painting becomes not just image, but energy.
