Zhang XinYi Selina (b.1996) is an interdisciplinary artist and architectural Designer working between London, Hong Kong, and China. Her practice spans drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, and spatial installation, and is dedicated to building gentle, inhabitable inner worlds—giving emotional, imaginative, and spiritual experiences a physical presence in reality.

Born in Shenzhen and raised in Hong Kong, Selina graduated from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, where she received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Architecture. She previously worked at Mikou Design Studio in Paris and OMA in Hong Kong, contributing to projects in France and the Shenzhen K11 development. In 2018, she was awarded the MAD Architects Travel Fellowship, undertaking a solo journey across China and North Korea to research the future of Chinese architecture. In 2019, she lived on Koh Phangan, Thailand, where she studied and taught yoga and meditation, integrating bodily awareness and spiritual practice into her creative process. In 2020, she attended an artist residency in Dali, China, which marked the beginning of her artistic journey alongside architectural practice.

Her practice unfolds as a continuously growing process of world-building. Through recurring characters, beings, and spatial environments, she explores childlike inner life, spirit-like presences, and emotional states of softness, repair, and companionship. Her works invite viewers to slow down—encouraging touch, lingering, and quiet co-presence as a way to reconnect with their own inner landscapes. Central to her inquiry is how inner worlds can be held, cared for, and sustained within the physical realm.

Her work has been exhibited in London, Tokyo, and across China.

Selina continues to build bridges between art, design, and narrative, constructing a growing emotional ecosystem—a parallel world where the inner child can breathe, and imagination is given a place to rest.

张心怡（b.1996）是一位活跃于伦敦、香港与中国之间的跨学科艺术家与建筑师。她的实践横跨绘画、陶瓷、雕塑与空间装置，致力于构建温柔、可被进入的内在世界，为情绪、想象与精神经验寻找现实的身体。

张心怡出生于深圳，成长于香港，毕业于伦敦建筑联盟学院（Architectural Association），获得建筑学学士与硕士学位。她曾在巴黎 Mikou Design Studio 与香港 OMA 工作，参与法国及深圳 K11 等项目。2018 年，她获得 MAD Architects Travel Fellowship，独自踏访中国与朝鲜，研究中国建筑的未来；2019 年，她居住于泰国帕岸岛，学习并教授瑜伽与冥想，将身体觉察与精神修行融入创作实践。在2020年，她远赴中国大理并参与了第一个艺术家驻地，从而开始了她的艺术创作。

她的创作是一种持续生长的世界建构。通过反复出现的角色、生物、与空间场景，她探索童真、精灵般的内在生命，以及柔软、修复与陪伴的情绪状态。她的作品邀请观者放慢脚步，在触摸、停留与共处中，重新与自身的内在空间建立联系。她关注如何让精神世界在现实中被承载、被照料，并得以长期安放。

她的作品曾于伦敦、东京及中国多地展出。

张心怡持续在艺术、设计与叙事之间搭建桥梁，构建一个不断生长的情感生态系统——一个让内在小孩得以呼吸、想象得以栖息的平行世界。
