Tsang Tseng Tseng (曾貞貞), artist name Three Zan (三真), has an MFA focused in traditional scholar painting of the Yangtze River Delta, and she is a master of ink and brush landscape painting.

Ms Tsang has practiced ink and brush painting for two decades. In 2008, she was selected as the winner of the New Talent Prize in “The 24th Collective Exhibition of Macao Artists” by the Macau government Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau. Her first solo exhibition in Idaho, “Leaves Falling in The Ocean of Space,” was in 2012 at the Sandpoint Redtail Gallery. Tsang’s piece “Foguang Temple” was shown at the 2014 five-yearly national exhibition of China, “The Twelfth National Exhibition of Fine Arts in the Liaohe Art Museum” of Liaoning, China. In 2014, she was one of two students admitted to the CAA graduate program of Professor Lin Hai Zhong, who is recognized throughout Asia as a key representative of traditional scholarly painting. The CAA is known in Asia as the leader of authentic ink and brushwork arts. Ms Tsang is recognized for her powerful brush stroke in the traditional fine art community of China. In 2021, she recently lectured as a guest speaker in the seminar The Space of Ink and Brush Landscape Painting, held at the Stanley Ho East Asia College and Cheong Kun Lun College, University of Macau. 

The term in Chinese language that is used to explain the atmosphere of Ms Tsang’s painting is xiāosàn sàndàn (蕭散散淡); xiāosàn (蕭散) means uninhibited and carefree, while sàndàn (散淡) easygoing and light. xiāosàn sàndàn implies an atmospheric breadth qìxī (氣息), which shows through the work. This breadth is an attitude of someone that is not chasing or trying to force something into existence, but letting inner feelings and character show through the work.

Artist's work
Lago Sai Van
The world in the lake is the realm of the heart. The dense of the ink slowly builds up with brush strokes, bringing out the dream of clouds and water. From the past to the present, will the Sai Van Lake in the small town be the "West Lake" in the minds of scholars?
