Tian Yan Hua was born in Shandong Province, China, in 1970. He holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts. He is the Head Curator of the Heze Museum of Art in Shandong province, the current Chairman of the Heze Museum Association, the vice president of the Heze Arts Association, and the head of Arts Research at Heze Municipal Library.

Of his art, he says, "I have been pursuing an incredible longing, like a dream. This feeling is like being half-asleep and half-awake and within a virtual reality. In my work, there is a free interplay between symbolism and pretence. I think art needs constant integration. The means of expression must be free, and this is a combination of tradition and modernity. There is a fusion of contemporary metaphysics, minimalism, and traditional Chinese aesthetic orientation."
