At the centre of her practice is the dialogue between nature and human beings, and the theme often focuses on the self-spiritual dialogue.
Jin believes that human beings have different potentials inside and an individual is a combination of these potentials. She depicts these potentials by oil paints as the main media that is because the process of doing oil painting is able to bring her the sense of stability, which was lacking when she was a patient with Epilepsy. She started exploring mixed media when MFA studying in London. Combining her paintings with other materials became a symbol of her works.
Jin works primarily in oil on canvas and is based on water colours on papers. using a combination of flowing paint and thick strokes to create depth and luminosity in work. Her paintings are often landscapes, but they are not simply depictions of the places she have visited or imagination, rather than an expression of her emotional and spiritual connection to the natural world. Through her paintings, people can use more imagination to view the world, and have more dialogues with the soul through paint.
