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 fleeting moment of “Wow... but wait!” —when beauty reveals the thorn beneath the bloom.

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。
