Yanlin Song biography
Yanlin Song is a multidisciplinary illustrator based in Shanghai. She began her formal painting training in 2008, immersing herself in Impressionist works during this period. Her studies in architecture and art history in university further expanded her aesthetic sensibility and artistic vision. From 2017 to 2021, she worked as a brand designer while self-studying illustration. In 2022, she left her stable job to pursue independent creative work, choosing illustration as her medium to explore the relationship between herself and the external world.
Her artwork was shortlisted for the 10th Hiii Illustration International Competition in 2023 and won the iJUNGLE Illustration Awards 2023 Self-Promotion Merit Award. In 2024, her pieces were exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
