Muran（沐冉）

Born in 1982 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Muran graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Tunghai University and later obtained a degree from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts (Printmaking Division) at Taipei National University of the Arts. From lush, tranquil forests and quietly blooming flora to serene domestic interiors and moments of everyday leisure, Muran’s work—whether in multi-color reduction prints or monochrome woodcut prints—goes beyond charming visual forms and decorative detail. Rather than focusing solely on surface aesthetics or intricate carving techniques, the true essence of his practice lies in a deep painterly sensibility and a sustained reflection on his personal way of living. For Muran, his art is a narration of daily life: a leisurely breakfast, the shifting light outside a window, potted plants on a balcony—infused with his imaginative sensibility. Calm and composed, his works evoke the gentle warmth of winter sunlight. Through each carved line, he expresses a quiet contentment—an inward fulfillment and ease that reflects his enduring appreciation for the subtle beauty of everyday life.
