1961年出生于北京,1981-1982年于广州美术学院国画系学习;1983-1993年于德国汉堡美术学院学习,获汉堡扶轮社和北德石苛州(SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN)艺术奖学金;1991年获得艺术硕士学位。

作为艺术大家黄胄之女,梁缨的艺术成长历程受父亲影响,自幼学画但在艺术风格上并没有传承父亲,自成一体。政治特殊年代,父亲迁放外地,她便在地上用小石子画和小伙伴们玩耍的场景,显露了她的艺术天分。70年代,梁缨真正接触绘画,70年代末随父亲在新疆生活、速写,80年代初随父在苏州、杭州、黄山等地创作。父亲临终前的叮嘱:绘画同时注重文史哲修养也深刻影响了梁缨。1983年梁缨赴德国学习艺术,从而走上与父亲不同的艺术道路,在梁缨自己看来,这是她真正走上绘画道路的开始。梁缨兼擅油画、版画、水墨画,画风融会中西,以中国的笔墨技法和日本浮世绘版画为主要表现手段,关注女性形象、传统花鸟、神怪故事、敦煌壁画等。梁缨认为她自己从没有刻意地去表达什么东西,认为“百步之内,皆可入画”,绘画创作有时候就是把日常生活经历和思索的东西以绘画的形式记录下来。她以她真实、平常的心态,用绘画述说她对人生产生的灵感。


Born in Beijing in 1961, she studied at the Chinese Painting Department of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1981 to 1982; from 1983 to 1993, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Germany, and received art scholarships from the Rotary Club of Hamburg and SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN in North Germany; in 1991 Obtained a Master of Arts degree in 2001.

Liang’s artistic career is enlightened by her father, Huang Zhou, a renowned artist and scholar. However, she didn’t carry on her father’s artistic style but rather created her own. During a specific political outbreak in her childhood years, her father was exiled. Liang drew her play date scenes with stones on the ground, revealing her artistic talent. In 1970s, Liang had a rudimentary contact with painting while she was living and sketching in Xinjiang in the late 1970s, shadowing her father. In the 1980s, she followed him to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huangshan. Liang was deeply touched by her father’s dying wish, “Literature, history and philosophy is of equal importance to painting.” In 1983 Liang went to Germany to further her studies and embarked on a different path as her father’s. From her perspective, this is the true beginning of her art career. Liang Ying excelled in oil painting, printmaking and ink painting and her artistic style blends Chinese and Western in the form of Chinese traditional ink painting and Japanese ukiyoe techniques. Her paintings are concerned with female figurations, traditional florals and birds, mythological tales and Dunhuang Murals, etc. Liang considers that she has never intended to express anything in particular and that everything can be painted within 100 footsteps. She thinks that paintings, in some circumstances, are just a form of recording daily life and thoughts. With her true and peaceful mindset, Liang depicts her inspiration of life in paintings.
