By Yen Yen Chou @yenyenflamingo
Artist Statement:
My work explores transformation and interconnectedness within everyday experiences. Using recurring motifs from the natural and human worlds, I create visual connections between elements that might not typically coexist—like rainbows and Pocky sticks, sparkles and bow ties, mushrooms and eyes—to evoke a whimsical and magical atmosphere.
I’m drawn to the interplay between the ephemeral and the physical, the organic and the artificial, and especially the micro and the macro. These relationships reflect how we experience both life and art. The micro speaks to our daily lives—fleeting moments and present sensations—while the macro reveals the bigger picture: our smallness in relation to nature and the vastness of the universe.
My watercolor and gouache drawings, alongside mixed media paintings in epoxy clay and acrylic, emerge from a slow, repetitive process. The accumulation of marks and forms, the rhythms and subtle variations, create a meditative state of making. Through these tactile processes, I aim to express how emotions, thoughts, and experiences layer, shift, and reshape continually.
