Yu-Hsuan Wang — Shanghai, China

What is the attraction for you of creating Illustration? “Illustration is an expressive way to connect strong emotions. It can be a simple reality, or take you far from the depths of your imagination to the abstract. The diversified faces of illustration become a powerful instrument. When I create my personal projects, it represents my mental psyche and contextualises the world in my head. There are no rules on the canvas. It’s a beautiful way to tell stories. Every project has different characteristics that challenge me and become more and more interesting.”
