A talented and unconventional person who walks around in
depression and derives paintings from chaotic thoughts leads to two different
styles of painting.
The colorful paintings are derived from the belief that each
color has its own emotions, and that we are truly living in the world.
Another style is based on the theme of “Madness,
Loved”, according to different story chapters, depicting the female
emotions of a certain node.

Hi! I am Sophia who is an illustrator currently working in
Taiwan. An international client base has brought the importance of social media
to the fore. Ornamentations, playful composition, and vivid colour palettes are
my primary inspirations. Especially colour palettes are key. Both vivid and
limited in range, they convey the distinctive and playful style with which I
address contemporary subjects.
Narratives are developed through repetitive patterns and
ornamentation. Sometimes the imaginary scenes that arise are inhabited by small
groups of individuals, sometimes recognisable as an iconic band.
Although the audience
is generally assumed to be adult, my illustrations can generate the spirit of
childish mirth and simple pleasures. For example, humour is a prominent trait
of the creatures and anthropomorphic characters through which I am currently
visualising the growing dream world of Sophialand.
Also, my outputs often reflect the formats of Instagram,
exhibiting square, tiled and sequential imagery.
