Jingmin Ren Artist Statement
It has been said that the artist’s job is that of revelation. [James Baldwin] In essence, I pursue this task by capturing my responses to the spectacular beauty of our world. I communicate my experience of life through my art.
I awake each morning to the ever-changing sunrise from Sydney City; appreciating its beauty gives me renewed energy and a deep sense of joy and happiness. I have captured these moments by photographically documenting the sunrise religiously every day for three years to share with others the connection that I felt.
The sun has given me endless warmth; the constantly changing clouds have inspired me with infinite inspiration.
I paint with oil on canvas, creating light, shadow and tones, together with positive energy movement, connecting time and space, creature and universe. So I often become part of the universe. So as the wind caresses nature, allowing creatures to rise beyond the clouds and thus observe the glory of what creation has to offer us.
I myself follow the flow of light to fly freely in this universe. The painting is what I see, think and feel.
I attempt to take viewers of my artworks on a journey to the other side of a magical dream, mystical and transcending, helping us to appreciate our amazing planet and believe in ourselves.
My mission is to share love, happiness and positive energy.

Profile
Jingmin Ren （任静敏）
Spiritual Energy Artist
Originally from China started painting professionally after relocating to Sydney, Australia, in 2009. Her local Catholic school commissioned her to paint works inspired by the Book of Genesis. This was an appropriate topic for her because she, too, was experiencing her Genesis in her new country. She felt a deep connection with each painting, showing us the love and passion she shared when creating these works. The recognition and appreciation of her artworks have encouraged and inspired her to continue pursuing her skills as an artist.
Jingmin Ren has also captured the Sunrise of Sydney City by photographically documenting each morning for the past three years to share her connection and feelings of renewed energy, joy and happiness. These experiences were transformed into her “Sydney Morning” oil painting series.
Her spiritual energy artworks present a unique artistic style with the structural characteristics of symbolism and surrealism.
She paints with oil on canvas and is passionate about painting energy art. She uses romantic expressionist techniques to discover the relationship between human beings and nature. Creating light, shadow and tones, together with positive energy movement, connects time and space, creature and universe.
She has participated in numerous exhibitions over the last ten years and received many awards, including the International Outstanding Female Artist Award in the Third International Painting Festival of Hawaii-2017.
Ren had taught art with a passionate desire to share her joy and knowledge. She has received Certifications of Appreciation for her volunteer art workshop from Canterbury Bankstown City Council for three consecutive years between 2017 and 2019.
Jingmin Ren’s “Sydney Morning” and “Flow of Light” oil painting series have been exhibited worldwide. Her artworks were collected in Australia, China, USA and France.
Jingmin Ren has come from a banking background, having traded Indices and Commodities. She has also worked in property development as a project manager. As a daughter, mother, sister, partner, and director of a company, she believes art is a spiritual journey to accomplish her self-realisation. She feels her mission is to share love, happiness and positive energy with all people.
