BE OPEN Art is pleased to announce Wen Tong as its Artist of the Month for May 2025, as chosen by art lovers around the world from among those featured in our online gallery.
Born in Jinan, China in 1998, Wen Tong immigrated to Canada at the age of two and now works from her studio in Oakville, Ontario. A graduate of the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology and Computer Science, she also studied studio art—focusing on painting and printmaking—at Sheridan College.Wen’s work aspires to counteract suffering through beauty and sensory engagement, offering viewers transcendent experiences. By creating pieces that serve as sacred relics, she shares profound stories of both joy and tribulation.
At the end of 2025, the BE OPEN Art Community will select the Artist of the Year from the monthly winners. The recipient will be awarded a €1,000 prize and a dedicated promotional campaign to help elevate their artistic career.
