Ming Ming Art
Chinese, b. 1964
Born in Guangzhou, China, Ming-Ming Liang graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1987 and has become a celebrated artist known for her expressive depictions of life and freedom. Her art, deeply influenced by California’s landscapes, focuses on capturing the ephemeral interplay between light and shadow, particularly in her acclaimed flower series.
Her unique style blends memory and imagination. She uses layered techniques to explore form, texture, and color. This approach creates paneled surfaces where elements like light, air, and color merge, producing vibrant playfulness in her works.
A respected member of the Colored Pencil Society of America and other art associations, Ming-Ming has dedicated over three decades to art creation and education. She now lives and teaches in the San Francisco Bay Area, continually inspiring new artists. Ming-Ming's work, characterized by numerous national exhibitions, awards, and media features, is widely collected by organizations and private collectors around the world, showcasing her significant impact on the art community.
"My painting is an expression of the beauty of life and freedom. My inspirations come from my surroundings: gardens, California’s wildflowers, trees, sunshine, wind, clouds, and tides. All of these drive me to seek how they interact.
For many years, I have focused on the theme of flowers. I intend to capture these forms, compositions, and movements between light and shadow to integrate my memories and imagination onto canvas. In my flower series, I explore form, texture, color, and light in a unique freehand style.
I usually paint in a certain hue, then rework and re-layer with brush strokes and textures to create paneled surfaces, where the objects, light, and air often meld into one; colors disperse with warmth diffusing into the background. The process is full of the possibilities for the playfulness of art." - Ming Mingto

Questions About Ming Ming Art
- What is a Ming chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A Ming chair refers to a typically elaborate and sophisticated piece of seating furniture that was designed during China’s Ming dynasty — an era that saw a deepening of interest in interior design and furniture in the East Asian country owing to the evolution of joinery techniques and a rise in Chinese commerce. Celebrated Danish furniture maker Hans Wegner transitioned from cabinetry to furniture design in the 1940s and, in 1944, began to develop seating based on Ming dynasty chairs.
- How do I identify a Ming vase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are a few tell-tale signs you can look for to determine whether your Ming vase is real or fake. Authentic Ming vases will have a mark on the bottom to note what Emperor they were made for. There are several different markings so it helps to familiarize yourself with them. Also, Ming vases have very little iron in the clay. Iron turns reddish when the clay is fired if there is no glaze over it. Look inside the vase to see what color the unglazed clay is. Shop a collection of authentic Ming vases from some of the world’s top stores on 1stDibs.
- How was Ming porcelain made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Ming porcelain was made from a mixture of clay and minerals.

- What is Ming plate of China?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Ming plate is an example of porcelain from China during the Ming dynasty.

- How can I spot a fake Ming vase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To spot a fake Ming vase, first look at the unglazed paste at the bottom edge of the rim. There, you should see a reddish brown edge where the glaze stops. If not, it's possible the vase is not from the Ming dynasty. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted Ming vases from some of the top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify Ming dynasty furniture, first check the legs, back, undersides and other inconspicuous areas to see if you can locate any maker's markings. If you do, snap a photo with your phone and perform a reverse image search. You may be able to determine the maker and year of production. The Ming dynasty lasted from 1368 to 1644 in China. Furniture from this time period often features natural woods and shows off simple lines. Because artisans working during the era typically used mortise and tenon joinery, authentic Ming Dynasty furnishings will usually not have any visible nails or screws. However, there are many convincing reproductions on the market, so experts generally recommend having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform the identification process for you. Shop a collection of Ming dynasty furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A Ming dynasty vase is going to be worth a lot.

It is estimated to be valued at between $300,000 and $500,000. Shop a range of antique and vintage vases on 1stDibs.
