Yuko Soi is a Japanese artist who explores the possibility of expressing the thoughts and feelings of her life on one piece of paper. Her work borders on abstract language and surrealistic images that the artist creates with the help of colored pencils for 13 years. Using predominantly bright colors of different tonality, Yuko Soi manages to create the effect of pulsation and flowing from one image to another, forming a single composition.

"Strange Time. I think it's necessary, maybe."
