Yiwei Shi, a Sydney artist, draws inspiration from a variety of subjects, with people captivating his attention the most. Through keen observation, he freely portrays their movements, be it walking, running, jumping, dancing, or sporting, finding immense fascination in each gesture. Not content with being merely realistic in proportion, he reshapes their bodies and creates extraordinary postures to amplify the dramatic impact.

Yiwei believes that life is a joyful journey, and his artwork reflects this perspective. He possesses the ability to perceive the humorous aspects of daily routines and captures the beauty inherent in every motion. Often simplifying his characters by omitting intricate details, incorporating plain backgrounds, and presenting his two-dimensional vision to the audience.
