Yurong Xiao

I am a senior illustration student at School of Visual Arts. I am born and raised in Shanghai, China. Currently studying in New York City.

My artwork is an emotional journey, where each piece tells a story. Across varied styles, mediums, and subjects, I craft visual narratives that delve into our inner lives and prompt contemplation about modern living.

Throughout my youth, I sharpened my artistic skills via systematic learning and developed my own style by looking at art from all over the world. Now, as a New York resident, I am surrounded by an abundance of inspiration, with access to cultural treasures like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the galleries of Chelsea. My educational path led me to the School of Visual Arts, where my love for illustration flourished.
