Huiqin Wang (1955) is an academically trained Slovenian-Chinese painter who graduated from the Nanjing Academy of Fine Arts. She has lived in Ljubljana since 1983, obtaining specialisation from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Wang builds artistic bridges between languages, literatures, and cultures, just like fairytale motifs travelled along the Silk and Amber Roads. In addition to painting, she works in illustration and multimedia art. Her illustrations have won several major awards. She has published three original Slovenian-Chinese picture books, writing the texts herself as well: Hallerstein: A Slovenian at the Chinese Court (2014), Castiglione: A Painter at the Chinese Court (2015), and I, Marco Polo (2018). The text for her picture book Little Alma on a Big Journey (2020) was written by Milan Dekleva. These books have been translated into English, Italian, and Croatian. In 2022, Huiqin Wang and Andrej Kamnik adapted the picture book Little Alma on a Big Journey into an animated film, which has been screened at several festivals.
