Yiya Wang

Yiya Wang work possesses a profoundly feminine and vital consciousness, frequently constructing opulent yet illusory dreamscapes through scenes of profuse floral splendour. Drawing upon imagery of Song Dynasty imperial consort headdresses, court ladies, and pavilions, she employs meticulous gongbi brushwork to depict the coexistence of splendour and desolation, exploring the subtle tension between power, destiny, and the transience of life.

Drawing extensively from Eastern classics such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Book of Songs, and Dream of the Red Chamber, she infuses her works with their symbolism and poetic essence. The resplendent floral crowns and whispered colophons, like murmurs where classical and modern worlds intertwine, reflect the solitude and dignity of women within the torrent of time. Between opulence and ethereality, her delicate brushstrokes depict a tranquil yet magnificent feminine allegory. Her works are dreamlike and ethereal, yet brimming with cultural resonance and emotional tension.
