Born in 1991 in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Zhang completed her undergraduate studies in the Oil Painting Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and further pursued a master's degree in Contemporary Art Practice from the Geneva University of Art and Design. Currently, she holds a teaching position at the Shanghai campus of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
 
Her artistic practice merges the realms of digital technology to create a connection between images and scenes of reality and illusion, and transcend them onto the canvas through delicate and nuanced brushstroke. Her works offer surreal and dreamlike figurative visuals to delve into the profound exploration of the essence of human emotions and relationships. Under the contemporary social context dominated by technicism and scientism, she reflects on the alienation of emotions in materiality with a critical lens.
