Y.S.Oneness is a creative space where art, culture, design, and mindful living flow into daily life.
Founded by Chinese ink painter, architect, and illustrated book author Yemin Yin, Y.S.
Oneness cultivates a vibrant ecosystem of art exhibitions, cultural workshops, illustrated
books and animation, design services, and international exchanges — bringing
harmony, beauty, and depth to modern life.
Overview
Name: Yemin Yin
Company: Y.S. Oneness
Y.S. Oneness believes that art and culture should be lived and experienced, not confined to galleries.
With this vision, the studio offers a wide range of programs that bridge Eastern and
Western aesthetics, combining traditional Chinese wisdom with contemporary design
and modern lifestyle experiences.
The studio’s work spans four main areas:
Art —Exhibitions and original Chinese ink paintings and calligraphy, including the
current Sense the Essence exhibition at Foundry in 2025.
Publishing & Illustrated Books — Creation and customization of illustrated books that
blend Eastern aesthetics with modern visual storytelling; a new illustrated book will be
published in Taiwan this autumn.
Experience — Workshops in Chinese ink painting, sutra copying, Chinese martial arts
(Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin), and curated European art tours.
Design — Full-scope design services across architecture, interior spaces, visual
identity, and exhibition design — in projects ranging from schools and hotels to private
residences.
Motto: Sense the Essence | 不二無界 — a guiding principle that celebrates depth,
simplicity, and universal connection.
Why Foundry?
Foundry is an ideal space to foster cross-cultural dialogue and creative exchange. The
Foundry community is not only inclusive and welcoming, but also highly professional,
with a genuine appreciation for art and culture.
The space itself is flexible and warm — whether for hosting exhibitions, creative
workshops, or more immersive mindful and cultural experiences, it provides an inspiring
and supportive environment.
For us, Foundry is both a platform for presentation and dialogue, and a community
where creative ideas and collaborations can continuously flourish.

This exhibition features 11 signature works by Yemin Yin, blending traditional Chinese

Y.S. Oneness is also planning new editions of its highly popular Chinese ink painting
workshops and sutra copying sessions — open to both individuals and corporate
groups.
Q&A With Yemin
1. Tell us about yourself (or your company).
I am a Chinese ink painter, architect, and illustrated book author. I’ve always believed
that art should be part of everyday life. Y.S. Oneness grew from this vision — to create
a space where art, culture, and design come together to inspire and enrich people’s
lives.
2. When did you join Foundry, and why did you choose it as your base?
We were introduced to Foundry through friends. After visiting and learning more about
the space, we felt the overall creative and open atmosphere was a perfect fit for us.
3. How does being at Foundry support your work or your goals?
Foundry provides an ideal venue to host our exhibitions, workshops, and cultural
programs. The space is inspiring and flexible, and the community is full of people who
appreciate the value of art and cultural experiences.
4. What are you working on right now that you’re particularly excited about?
We are currently preparing for the closing event of the Sense the Essence exhibition on
June 20th.
We are also planning to continue hosting our Ink Painting Workshops across different
locations and institutions in Luxembourg.
5. What’s coming up next?
At the same time, we are actively preparing for our participation in the LuxExpo
International Bazaar this November. We hope to present more art and design pieces
that can enrich everyday life.
6. What’s something people might not know about you or your business?
My background in architecture and urban design has given me a unique perspective:
whether working on a painting, a space, or a cultural experience, I strive to explore the
delicate relationship between tradition and modernity, art and life, illusion and reality.
In recent years, I’ve also been deeply engaged in preserving ancient cities and cultural
heritage, and in capturing the stories of ordinary people through my art and illustrated
books. To me, art is not only about beauty — it is about creating meaningful, heartfelt
connections across time, space, and human experience.
