YUJIE-LI

My creative practice is rooted in inner perception and external memories, serving as a gentle dialogue between myself and life. I seek inspiration from states of inner peace. Moments of solitude, relaxation during bathing, and quiet meditation bring me closest to my true self. I focus on the faint, continuous ringing in my ears to ground myself and filter out the restlessness and noise of the outside world. In this state of profound calm, imagery naturally emerges in my mind. These unprompted visuals become the most genuine emotional carriers in my paintings. For me, art is a way to settle my emotions and reconcile with myself.
