Siyi (b.1996) is a mixed media artist from Chengdu, China, currently living and working in China and London.
Influenced primarily by her childhood experiences, Siyi focuses on the phenomenon of flying mosquitoes from her own eyes. She uses airbrush and chalk to render images in multiple layers, creating hazy colours to express the unconsciousness, chaos and instability of childhood. Siyi attempts to reconstruct her childhood mental world from an adult perspective and tries to blur the boundaries of time, treating the constructed world as a virtual existence that is infinitely closer to the real. Siyi sees her work as a way to heal herself, attempting to also to draw the viewer's attention to their own precarious state.
