Angel Yau
Artist and Illustrator🍁
I create paintings that explore healing, emotional resilience, and the complexity of being human. Working primarily in acrylic with hand-drawn marker details, I balance fluid, expressive color with precise linework to reflect the movement between chaos and clarity, softness and structure. Each piece begins from an emotional state — joy, sadness, fear, longing, frustration, or quiet reflection — and unfolds through a layered, intuitive process that mirrors the way we navigate inner world.The recurring girl serves as a symbolic self-portrait and a gentle witness to these emotional landscapes. Through her presence, I trace the universal experiences of searching, becoming, and reconnecting with one’s authentic self.Painting is both an emotional outlet and a contemplative practice for me. I aim to create artworks that offer viewers a moment of recognition — a sense that the feelings they carry are shared and understood. My work invites others to pause, reflect, and find connection through the shared language of emotion.Available for commissions and collaborations.
