Sylvia Ji Biography

Sylvia's gorgeously creepy paintings are brimming with a mixture of sexual provocation and consternation.

Images of beautiful women resembling Marie Antoinette in D'de los Muertos face paint.

Sylvia Ji was born in 1982 in San Francisco to artistic parents. Ji's interest in art was implanted at a very young age when she would look through her mother?s sketchbooks and watch her father paint. In her art, she explores themes of beauty, sexual provocation, and social notions of femininity juxtaposed against the dystopian reality of modern cities to create highly charged paintings of women. Some of her paintings are symbolic reflections of herself, portraits of people she knows or just nameless faces set in a landscape of fleeting beauty. She graduated with distinction in 2005 from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in illustration and already had her first ambitious and successful solo show while still in her last year of school. Since then she has been in high demand, keeping continuously engaged in an onslought of numerous shows on the West Coast.
