Qiao

Saroushka Lok, professionally known as Qiao, is a jewellery designer, artist, and curator whose multidisciplinary practice reflects her emotional states, explorations of symbolism, and the storytelling of personal experiences through visual art. Her work moves between technology and nature — from jewellery designs that incorporate 3D printing and artificial intelligence to expressive paintings that explore the emotional language of texture and natural forms. As the founder of Canvas of The Heart, she is passionate about creating a space where creativity becomes a vessel for connection, reflection, and support.

Having worked as a professional artist and designer alongside many talented artists, Qiao believes that creativity is not limited to professionals but belongs to everyone. She hopes to introduce art as a channel for emotional expression and reflection, offering a space where individuals from all backgrounds can share experiences, uplift one another, and find meaningful connection through creativity. As she reflects, “For me, creativity is not just a form of expression — it is a form of survival, of rediscovering light in moments of darkness.”

Her exhibition, Behind, reflects a period of feeling out of sync with the pace of the world — like a drifting fish tail moving quietly behind the current. Inspired by the flowing movement of fish and the way the tail blooms like a flower, the works explore perseverance and quiet transformation. Through layered textures and soft forms, the paintings capture the journey of moving forward at one’s own rhythm, gradually unfolding and blooming into strength.
