His initial training in medicine nurtured a lifelong interest in humanity. Today, as professor in the Department of Arts and Design in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Macau (UM), Prof Chi is at the forefront of developing a new, scientifically informed language of visual expression. What may seem like two opposing paths\u2014medicine and art\u2014have merged to form the foundation for his creative journey. It is at the intersection of science, philosophy, and aesthetics that his artistic vision takes shape, producing work that is award-winning, intellectually probing, and deeply original. In this interview, Prof Chi shares the experiences and ideas that have shaped his artistic path.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Creation anchored in philosophical exploration<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Chi is a visual artist whose work is deeply rooted in philosophical exploration, constantly seeking the essence of life through the lens of a camera and the flow of ink.<\/div><div><\/div><div>As our conversation begins, Prof Chi\u2019s eyes light up at the sight of the Leica camera in our reporter\u2019s hands. With a warm smile, he shares how the brand\u2019s name inspired his son\u2019s. He recounts the story of Ernst Leitz II, the second\u2011generation head of Leica, who during the Nazi era turned his company into an \u2018ark\u2019, secretly helping Jewish employees escape by sending them overseas. \u2018That was a sense of responsibility that went far beyond commercial interests,\u2019 Prof Chi says. \u2018It transformed the camera from a cold optical instrument into a vessel of humanitarian spirit.\u2019 Moved by this legacy of courage and compassion shining through a dark time, Prof Chi named his son \u2018LeiKa\u2019, hoping that same light would guide him through life.<\/div><div><\/div><div>An avid reader, Prof Chi has filled his home with books\u2014from Chinese classics to Western philosophy. This lifelong passion forms the intellectual foundation of his creative practice. His depth of thought was vividly expressed in \u2018A Tree of Knowledge: Creation Based on Greatness\u2019, an exhibition presented by the Department of Arts and Design at the UM Museum of Art. The work draws inspiration from Einstein\u2019s theory of general relativity\u2014particularly the idea that light does not always travel in a straight line but bends and curves under the pull of gravity. Guided by this insight, Prof Chi sought to make the invisible visible, turning abstract scientific theory into vivid artistic expression.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Chi joined UM in 2025 after teaching for more than two decades in the US. He worked at Laguna College of Art and Design in California and Purdue University in Indiana, where he mainly taught graphic design, photography, and 3D animation, and nurtured countless young artists. His distinctive creative voice is grounded in one central belief: philosophy is the soul of artistic creation. This guiding principle has earned him international recognition, including two Best 2D Awards at the prestigious IDEAS Festival. His photography has also been featured in major publications such as<i> Juxtapoz, Vogue, <\/i>and <i>Elle<\/i>. Above all, Prof Chi holds fast to one conviction: \u2018Great creation cannot exist without the foundation of great thought\u2019.&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>From a storytelling family to a life in art<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Chi\u2019s artistic journey began in a family steeped in science fiction writing. \u2018My grandfather started writing science fiction in the 1950s, and my father followed in his footsteps,\u2019 he recalls. \u2018When I was in secondary school, I won several sci-fi awards\u2014one of them even presented by the scientist Qian Sanqiang at the Great Hall of the People.\u2019 It seemed only natural that he would continue his family\u2019s creative legacy. Instead, Prof Chi took an unexpected turn: he chose to study medicine.<\/div><div><\/div><div>\u2018At that time, my father thought studying science would lead to a more practical career,\u2019 Prof Chi explains. Yet his own motivation ran deeper: \u2018I believed that whatever you study should ultimately help you understand what it means to be human.\u2019 For Prof Chi, medicine became an early education in life and human nature\u2014an exploration that would later shape the foundation of his art.<\/div><div><\/div><div>After graduating from Tianjin Medical University, Prof Chi found himself at a crossroads. He soon realised that medicine was not his true calling. During this period of uncertainty, he found unexpected inspiration in the story of the Italian piano virtuoso Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, who, like Prof Chi, had studied medicine before discovering his artistic genius. That story helped Prof Chi see that the logic of science and the sensibility of art are not opposites, but complementary forces that can enrich one another.<\/div><div><\/div><div>In 2001, Chi began a new chapter, moving to the US to pursue a master\u2019s degree in visual communication at Purdue University\u2014marking the formal beginning of his artistic career. Looking back, Prof Chi reflects, \u2018My medical studies were never a waste. Those years gave me a profound understanding of life.\u2019 Although he entered the art world as a beginner, Chi brought the rigour and discipline of his medical training. He immersed himself in his new field, often staying up late studying design textbooks\u2014some as thick as a phone book\u2014and mastering in months what many students spend years trying to learn.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Distinctive artistic vision<\/div><div><\/div><div>Years of rigorous training, shaped by a philosophical upbringing and a lifelong love of reading, have given Prof Chi a distinctive way of approaching creative challenges. Where others might struggle with abstract artistic concepts, he tackles them with the analytical precision of a physician: taking inspiration\u2019s pulse, dissecting its layers, and uncovering the essence beneath. This blend of medical logic and humanistic insight lies at the heart of his art and teaching, giving him a singular lens through which to see and create.<\/div><div><\/div><div>During his master\u2019s studies, Prof Chi noticed an opening for a teaching assistant position at his university. His portfolio, however, contained only 12 works\u2014three short of the required 15. Even so, he earned an interview. The trial lecture required him to critique student work on the spot. In a moment of inspiration, he began weaving philosophical reflections from<i> Tao\u202fTe\u202fChing<\/i> into his critique. Though his English was still imperfect, his unique fusion of Eastern philosophy and design analysis immediately captured the professors\u2019 attention. \u2018In design education,\u2019 Prof Chi recalls, \u2018what matters most isn\u2019t having a flawlessly finished piece, but showing creative potential and new ways of thinking.\u2019 That distinctive cross\u2011cultural perspective not only earned him the position\u2014an exception to the usual regulations\u2014but also marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for teaching.<\/div><div><\/div><div>A physician\u2019s eye for art<\/div><div><\/div><div>Alongside his teaching, Prof Chi has continued to develop his own creative practice. A multi\u2011award\u2011winning artist in the US, his photography has appeared in magazines, books, and galleries around the world \u2014 from China and the US to Germany, the UK, and Australia. Among his many projects, the<i> Neuron and Universe series<\/i> stands out as his signature work\u2014a refined fusion of science and art. The series draws inspiration from two powerful sources: the \u2018microscopic eye\u2019 sharpened by his medical training and the vast cosmic vision inspired by Einstein\u2019s theory of general relativity. Together, they reveal a remarkable connection: the intricate network of billions of neurons in the human brain mirrors the immense web of galaxies that fill the universe.<\/div><div><\/div><div>When the COVID\u201119 pandemic brought the world to a standstill in 2020, Prof Chi used that time for quiet reflection and study. During this period, he revisited Einstein\u2019s observation that light bends in a gravitational field\u2014a theory famously confirmed during the solar eclipse of 1919. Captivated by this idea, he sought to express it not with equations but through imagery. Drawing visual inspiration from NASA\u2019s space photography, he used techniques such as light painting and projection mapping\u2014deliberately avoiding any digital post\u2011processing. Through this pure, hands\u2011on approach, the<i> Neuron and Universe series<\/i> came to life\u2014a poetic meditation on the bending of light and the hidden order of the cosmos. Today, the works are on display at the UM Museum of Art.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Reimagining the language of colour<\/div><div><\/div><div>Having spent more than two decades living and working on both sides of the Pacific \u2014in China and the US \u2014 Prof Chi Xun\u2019s life trajectory has bridged cultures and ideas. Even after establishing himself in the US, where he served as professor and associate chair at the Laguna College of Art and Design, his curiosity continued to push beyond borders. In 2025, Prof Chi and his family relocated to Macao, marking the beginning of a new academic chapter at UM.<\/div><div><\/div><div>For Prof Chi, the move represents more than a change of place\u2014it feels like an intellectual and cultural homecoming. \u2018My artistic training took shape in the US,\u2019 he reflects. \u2018I was fortunate to receive a full scholarship, and after graduation, I spent more than twenty years teaching there. That was my way of giving back to the next generation of American artists. Now, it feels like the right time to return\u2014to share what I\u2019ve learned with young creators in Macao and back home in China.\u2019<\/div><div><\/div><div>UM\u2019s identity as a comprehensive research university resonates deeply with Prof Chi\u2019s academic ideals. \u2018My alma mater was also a research institution,\u2019 he says. \u2018I\u2019ve always appreciated that open, exploratory spirit.\u2019 He sees in UM\u2019s interdisciplinary culture the perfect environment for his next creative inquiry: reimagining the language of colour.<\/div><div><\/div><div>\u2018The colour wheel has been a circle since Newton\u2019s time,\u2019 Prof Chi explains. \u2018Our goal is to reinvent it from the ground up.\u2019 From Newton\u2019s 17th\u2011century model to today\u2019s RGB and CMYK systems, most colour frameworks were designed for machines and printing\u2014systems that fail to capture the full complexity of how humans perceive and experience colour.<\/div><div><\/div><div>Since 2017, Prof Chi and his collaborators have been working to change that, developing hundreds of experimental \u2018conceptual models\u2019. Their work spans a fascinating range\u2014from designing colour systems for tattoo artists that respond to different skin tones, to creating tools for colour\u2011blind students that use scent to identify hues. Each project embodies Prof Chi\u2019s broader vision: to rethink colour at its most fundamental level.<\/div><div><\/div><div>This research is as hands\u2011on as it is theoretical. Prof Chi and his team extract pigments from natural materials to mix colourful cocktails, exploring the connection between hue and its physical origins. Their study of stained glass, meanwhile, examines how light passing through matter gives colour its emotional depth. These experiments go beyond art; they represent an emerging field where physics, chemistry, and aesthetics converge.<\/div><div><\/div><div>\u2018A modern colour system needs at least three dimensions to describe a single hue accurately,\u2019 says Prof Chi. Building on his research, he is developing a groundbreaking three\u2011dimensional colour palette at UM\u2014a complete reimagining of the traditional, two\u2011dimensional colour wheel. By integrating real\u2011world factors such as material, texture, and illumination, his goal is to give artists and designers a new, precise language for colour\u2014one that reflects the richness and complexity of the physical world itself.&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div>The joy of fishing in art<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Chi often reflects on Zhuangzi\u2019s timeless question: \u2018You are not a fish\u2014how do you know the joy of fish?\u2019 He imagines a fish moving freely through a three\u2011dimensional, weightless world. To truly understand its joy, Prof Chi believes, one must become the fish\u2014see the world through its eyes and feel its effortless freedom. For Prof Chi, this is more than empathy; it is a transformation of being, a merging with the subject itself. In his creative practice, whenever he encounters something unfamiliar, he applies this philosophy. Through imagination, research, and even artificial intelligence, he does not simply observe a subject\u2014he inhabits it, seeking to experience the world from within it and in doing so, expanding the boundaries of his own perception.<\/div><div><\/div><div>This idea of \u2018becoming it\u2019 also lies at the heart of his approach to art education. Prof Chi believes that teaching is not just about \u201cshowing someone how to fish,\u201d but about exploring alongside students as they invent entirely new ways to fish. This, he says, requires courage\u2014the willingness to break old nets, create new tools, and dive into uncharted waters to discover what a \u2018catch\u2019 can truly mean. He often quotes Einstein\u2019s observation that \u2018creativity is intelligence having fun\u2019. For Chi, the true joy of fishing lies in that sense of playful intelligence\u2014the thrill of exploration, the delight of discovery, and the moment when thought flows freely and new insight suddenly appears. To him, that is the essence of creativity.<\/div><div><\/div><div>When Prof Chi envisions the future of the Department of Arts and Design, the metaphor expands into a broader reflection on place and purpose. The department, he notes, sits at the confluence of Macao\u2019s waterways\u2014a meeting point of Chinese and Western tides. \u2018If we imagine the department as a fish,\u2019 Prof Chi says, \u2018its mission is to explore the hidden currents of past and present, swimming freely between Chinese and Western traditions. Its direction does not need to be fixed, as long as it keeps its gaze on the sky, guided by the aspiration of \u201ccreation based on greatness\u201d.\u2019 In Prof Chi\u2019s view, this young department, with its cross\u2011cultural vision and adventurous spirit, is poised to carve its own current in the global flow of art and design.<\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><div>Profile of Prof Chi Xun<\/div><div><\/div><div>Prof Chi Xun is professor in the Department of Arts and Design in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Macau. He is a visual artist, international curator, and chair of the executive committee of the Association of Chinese Artists in American Academia. Prof Chi holds a Bachelor of Medicine from Tianjin Medical University and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design from Purdue University.
