Surreal illustration with abstract figures, keyboard, and binary code

Angela Liu

Bellevue, Washington State

“I was born in Taiwan and moved to Bellevue, WA when I was fourteen years old. I studied Computer Science and worked as a software engineer for more than ten years until in 2022, I decided to quit my engineering job and pursue my art passion full-time. I had no previous art background and didn’t start drawing until 2018 when I was going through hardships and needed an emotional outlet. My art is inspired by feelings and emotions I have at the moment, feelings that are hard to put into words but find their way out in the form of lines and shades. I hope people can find comfort in my art, to know that whatever they’re going through they are not alone.

It started from just 0's and 1's and then we built a world from them, a world that both freed and enslaved us. Come, join the rave, you can’t fight against it. Just remember to stay true to yourself, even in the digital world.
