YAOYAO is a Hong Kong Chinese artist with a background in contemporary texture art and handcrafted design. YAOYAO’s works embody a minimalist expression, focusing on creating layered dimensions that invite viewers to explore shapes and shadows that evolve over time depending on light, atmosphere, and emotional perception. Her artworks appear tactile and delicate, yet they are built upon a strong and enduring surface.

When YAOYAO creates art, she seeks a state of inner calmness. Meditation helps her enter a deeply creative state. Often, ideas emerge during stressful periods, busy moments, or while processing past experiences. YAOYAO carefully collects these thoughts and transforms them into small studies and material experiments. Later, when she reaches her most inspired creative mindset, these fragments become the foundation of new works. The final result may differ completely from the original idea, but the process itself remains an essential part of her artistic journey.

Since childhood, YAOYAO has always been creating in one form or another. She has explored a wide range of materials and techniques, continuously searching for new methods of expression. Her artistic process is intuitive rather than planned. This body of work reflects her personal experiences and inner emotions, creating a quiet space where viewers can find a sense of stability, safety, and stillness. The sculptural lines within her works form changing surfaces and depths through the interaction of light, resulting in minimalist compositions that evoke both curiosity and complexity.
