INTRO
Hello! I’m Yawen, a visual storyteller and illustrator originally from a small seaside city in China. I excel at using vivid, dreamlike colors to articulate complex emotions and weighty truths—inviting the viewer to feel the tension between softness and sharpness. I hope they feel a moment of “Wow... but wait!”—where the softness of a bloom meets the sting of its thorns.
My practice bridges digital illustration with Risograph and other printmaking techniques, allowing my work to move fluidly between digital image and physical object.
I see my work through the lens of Dreamcore | Dopamine | Daydream, crafting illustrations that can be seen, touched, and felt—lingering in the mind long after the image fades.

来自中国南方的95后插画师,明亮柔软的配色贯穿我的创作,它并非为了粉饰现实,而是在梦境与现实的缝隙中注入重量,在温柔与锋利之间制造张力。
我将我的创作理念概括为三个关键词:Dreamcore|Dopamine|Daydream, 即梦核|多巴胺|白日梦,虽然我以电子板绘为主要媒介,但我更倾向于结合多种印刷技术,为图像注入更多维度的可能性与探索路径。我的目标是打造一种能被看见、触碰并引发共鸣的多感官体验。
我坚信创作的本质是视觉化对混沌宇宙的理解和对人间百态的观察,我的系列作品最终指向一个质朴的邀请:在获取情绪价值和视觉享受的同时,请记得带走一个未经包装的思考,也许是对生活的感悟,也许是对自我的认同。
