My name is Ace the Artist, a Zambian visual artist and creative entrepreneur currently based in Zambia. From 2016 to 2022, I lived in China, where I established a successful art business that continues to operate today. My work focuses on creating original artwork while using art as a way to bring people together through creative experiences. In 2024, I partnered with TORI-JI Restaurant in Shanghai to launch a series of Sip & Paint events that welcomed people of all skill levels to explore their creativity in a fun and social environment. These events helped build a vibrant community of art enthusiasts and demonstrated the power of art to connect people from different backgrounds. I also developed a beginner-friendly painting kit designed to teach anyone how to paint, making art more accessible while encouraging creativity and confidence. Through both my artwork and community-based events, my mission is to inspire, educate, and create meaningful artistic experiences. Although I am now based in Zambia, my art business and Sip & Paint community continue to grow in China. Below is a selection of my artwork and highlights from the Sip & Paint events I have organized at TORI-JI Restaurant in Shanghai.

How to Order Food in China Without Speaking Perfect Chinese (Works 99% of the Time) Step 1: Open WeChat/Dianping/Alipay Step 2: Scan the QR code on the table (almost every restaurant has one) Step 3: Menu pops up with photos + English/translation Step 4: Point at pictures, choose, pay instantly Step 5: Food arrives in 5–10 mins. No talking needed 😂 Bonus hack: If there’s no QR code, open your camera, point at the Chinese menu, and use the built-in translator (WeChat & Alipay both have it). Magic. I used to be terrified of ordering. Now I eat like a local every day. What’s your best food-ordering hack in China? Drop it in the comments! 👇 #TalkTuesday #HafrikInsights #ChinaSurvivalTips
