| I am an illustrator from China, currently studying in Italy. In my work, I enjoy expressing ideas through indirect metaphors and subtle hints instead of showing everything directly. I like to leave space for viewers to imagine and find their own meanings in my images. My artistic style is always changing, but I am especially drawn to dark, childlike, and vintage aesthetics. I enjoy experimenting with different visual languages while staying true to the emotions I want to share.For me, still life is often more powerful than drawing people. Objects can create a unique atmosphere and quietly tell a story, allowing themes and emotions to unfold in a simple but meaningful way. |
