Washington DC Artist, Daniel
Nie, developed his own art
technique that he calls
“Yi-mpression.” He applies the
principles of French
impressionism with Chinese
Xieyi painting (pronounced
shay- e), which means to
express the inner feeling of
the artist. Creating this
unique style has allowed him
to interpret everyday objects
through the celebration of
color, light, texture and
composition.

Nie is a native of Shanghai,
China. He came to the USA 20
years ago after accepting a
full scholarship to study
art. Later Nie taught 6 years
art courses at colleges. Nie
holds a master degree in Art
History and Fine Arts from The
American University,
Washington, DC.
Daniel Nie is considered as
one the leading artists in the
nation. He lives in the suburb
of Washington, DC.
