Hsien Min Wang, born into a renowned lacquerware family, studied the art from an early age under his father, Ching Shuang Wang, who was the first Taiwanese student to train in Japan during the colonial period and a highly respected master for over six decades. After graduating from university, Wang joined the family’s Mei-Yen Craft Company, focusing on the production and promotion of lacquerware. Together with his brother, Hsien Chih Wang, he has become a leading figure in Taiwanese lacquer art.

His floral motifs radiate brilliance, while vessels embody weight and elegance. Using deep black grounds, he highlights the unique luster of lacquer, creating a solemn and meditative atmosphere. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship yet enriched with contemporary aesthetics, Wang’s art bridges cultural heritage and modern expression, establishing him as one of Taiwan’s most significant lacquer artists.
