Born in 1968 in Hebei, China, Zuo Jin graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. In 2012, he founded the Canadian Chinese Artists Association, where he serves as President, fostering cultural exchange between China and Canada. He is also Vice President of the Canadian Painting Society and Chief Artist of C9 Gallery.

Zuo’s artistic language bridges realism, abstraction, and his self-developed “Enlightenment” style, exploring profound connections between humanity, nature, and the cosmos. His major works—Mediocrity, Empathy, and Shortsightedness—have garnered international acclaim through exhibitions in NewYork and at the United Nations. His monumental painting The Sea is considered the world’s largest ocean-themed artwork. For his cultural contributions, Zuo was named “Cultural Ambassador for China–Canada Exchange” and awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by the Canadian Parliament.
