ABOUT

Han Han is a London-based artist. With an MA in Fashion from the University of the Arts London, she spent a decade in fashion design before turning to painting in 2020.
Driven by a deep fascination with people, she paints primarily in portraiture. Her work explores the complexity of human emotion and the individuality of her subjects. As a self-taught artist, Han continually experiments with technique, pushing the boundaries of her practice.
