“All my obsessions started with photography,” said Shuhua Xiong better known as Liz recently.
Shuhua’s artistic journey began in Shanghai, his hometown, when he began using his father’s old camera, the Minolta X-700.
Gradually, her passion grows from photo to photo, but finding someone in the Chinese city to develop her negatives was neither easy nor immediate.

During his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York, his passion completely explodes, managing to fully understand his illustration practice and technique.

Shuhua Xiong thanks to the skillful use of the airbrush, an indulgent tool that allows her to draw what you feel instead of what you see, gives her works a unique lightness, dictated by warm and soft colors.
Her illustrations are able to hold you in a comfortable embrace with its luminous shapes that slowly envelop the viewer.

“A small screw fallen from a giant steam engine”, in recent years despite the great opportunities and great responsibilities entrusted to them, all this does not seem to be enough.
On the edge of the precipice, thanks to his friend Jadoo Lee, he decides to leave his job at Google to dedicate himself definitively to his art.
Now she follows her flow, her inspiration, after years she has found the creative freedom she missed so much.
