Ziyi Tan

I am a visual artist specializing in traditional studio art using oil paints, but also work with other mediums like color pencil, charcoal pencil, and pyrography on wood. Through my work, I aim to interpret the timeless themes of love and death into a visual language, poetically. Rather than solely expressing myself in a first-person point of view, my focus leans more towards capturing the broader spectrum of human emotion, promoting a more universal and shared understanding.
