Personal Profile
Yan.B (Nicole)
I'm a junior year student at the university. My source of artistic talent comes from the relationship between humans, identity, and the world. Or you can call it the psychology side of art. I often like to study and observe people's behaviour, which makes me aware and sensitive to many occasions. After that, I became interested in art and realised that it was the subject I would be most motivated to put in the effort. I was always the "idea monster" and the "multiple perspectives species". I like to view things in multiple ways from different people's eyes, which supports my work. This is not a skill I developed; it has always been a part of me. My environment made me learn to be sensitive and cautious. It is very energy-consuming. That is why I usually enjoy observing people at public events and speaking up for myself. How different people act and think has become a big interest for me to study. Despite that, I had to admit I'm sometimes very self-centred. I think about my relationship, body, and soul more than anyone else first. I guess I'm still in the process of studying myself. I call it self-love as well. I think that is a lot from me, thank you for reading this! And I will continue to work hard as an artist and a designer.
Thank you.
