PeiHsin Cho /ˈpɛ ʃɪn ˌdʒɔ/
PeiHsin is a London-based visual storyteller from Taiwan, specializing in illustration and animation.
Her work revolves around the complexities of human emotions, exploring the depths of sentimentality across a wide range of subjects. Pei blends traditional and digital techniques, weaving elaborate visual language and texture to transcribe the subtleties of human emotion into ethereal and atmospheric imagery, catalysing viewers to engage their subjective experiences and memories. Her works have been recognized by international awards, and can be seen in a variety of publications and film festivals around the world.
Additional note: she is hopelessly addicted to cats and tea, which often find their way into her work.
