Wang Yabin was born in Xinxiang, Henan in 1974. He later worked in Zhengzhou, Henan and Huangshan, Anhui. He graduated from the Art Department of Henan Normal University in 1994. 

As a representative figure of contemporary Chinese painting, Wang Yabin has attracted widespread attention for his distinctive personal style and is good at using Western painting language to express Eastern artistic conception. In his early days, Wang Yabin's painting language focused on "narrative", but in the past ten years, he has gradually turned to "freehand brushwork". He draws nutrients from literature, history, poetry, classical and modern art, and relies on his wild imagination and keen inner experience to find a balance between tradition and contemporary times, East and West, and weave his own dreams.
