    BiJian Fan was born in Beijing, China, where he learned paper art from his grandmother.  Today, BiJian resides in Camarillo, California, still creates cutting-edge paper sculpture to carry on the tradition, but his media have expanded to metal, polymer, and other materials. BiJian is a multi-cultural and inter-disciplinary breed.  He studied in China, Japan, and the USA, earned his BS and MS in Mathematics, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.  Upon accomplishing a scientific career, BiJian moved on to visual art.  He combines science and art, explores aesthetic and physical properties of various materials, integrates his spatial and temporal sense in sculpting, transforms 2D static material into 3D kinetic sculptures.  His transformation represents an evolution in space and time. Through visual art, BiJian found his voice. BiJian has exhibited internationally and earned numerous recognitions. He exhibited in his home town for Beijing Olympics.

    Visual Arts: Illustration, Painting, Sculpture
     I am a mixed media artist from Ventura, California. After years of trying different mediums, I am the most creative using a variety of material in my process. I use acrylics, watercolors, papers, inks, charcoals, pastels, small hardware, wood, glass and pretty much anything else I find interesting! I typically do not create a piece of art about one specific subject. The materials in front of me often inspire my subject matter. Other times I am influenced by nature, animals, music, movies, people or just everyday life. Much of my work is abstract, colorful and tends to range from a simple watercolor to a more complex mixed media piece. My love of art started at a very young age. I can't remember a time that I wasn't doing something creative, but in a very private way. My art was something I shared with only a few family members and friends.  In 2007, I first showed my work in public. That year I won the Ventura College Award of Excellence, first place, in the mixed media category. It was the first time that I showed in a juried exhibition! In 2011, I won first place in a show at the Atrium Gallery for a mixed media piece entitled “Bound by Fear.” In addition, I have shown my work at events in conjunction with the Museum of Ventura County, Red Brick Gallery, Stoneworks Gallery and Ventura Artists Union. I have participated in several street fairs like Art Walk and Paint Ventura. In January 2015, I started an art blog: ymf13.tumblr.com. I've challenged myself to create art every single day for a year: “365 Days Project.”
