Through the Brush,
I See the World

I'm Chen Yueyi, an art student devoted to realism and storytelling. I capture structure in drawing, place emotion in colour, and tell in pictures of the people and life I see.

About Me

About Me

I'm Chen Yueyi. I have painted since childhood and trained systematically for years. I love storytelling built on a foundation of realism: solid draftsmanship is the ground of all creation, while the soul of a picture lies in the emotion and story it carries.

I specialise in drawing, colour and figure sketching from life, and I have recently begun exploring original themed works that blend figuration with imagination. For me, painting is not only technique — it is a way of observing the world and ordering the heart.

Still-life Drawing Colour Study Figure Sketch Themed Creation Narrative Expression
“What truly moves us is often the unspeakable thing within a picture.”
My Journey

My Artistic Journey

Beginnings · 2016
It Began with a Pencil
It started with doodles in the margins of textbooks; a teacher's words — “you have a gift” — lit the spark, and I took up the brush in earnest.
Foundations · 2019
Systematic Realist Training
I systematically studied still life, geometric forms and plaster casts; through hatching and tonal values I built a basic understanding of form and structure.
Crossroads · 2022
Doubt and Breakthrough
I struggled with “likeness without feeling”. Through art history and constant drawing from life, I found my own direction.
Creation · 2024
Finding My Own Work
I began creating personal themed pieces, weaving narrative and imagination into solid realism, gradually forming a style of my own.
What's Next · Now
Toward Wider Horizons
I hope to study systematically at university, deepen my draftsmanship, and explore a visual language that joins figuration with narrative.

Closing

In the studios of my future university,
I hope to paint, stroke by stroke,
the stories not yet told.

Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to exploring my visual language on a larger stage.
