THE ARTIST BEHIND ILLYRA
Frankie Hsu
Brooklyn-based mixed media artist Frankie Hsu creates works that capture the essence of the natural world and the mysteries of the cosmos. Through her use of textural patterns found in nature, Hsu has perfected the art of abstract fluid paintings, each one a visual portal to a world of ethereal beauty and spiritual connectivity.
Drawing inspiration from the subtle nuances of natural phenomena from around the world, Hsu seeks to explore the delicate balance between the human mind and the natural world. With each piece she creates, she aims to transport the viewer to a place of tranquility, to soothe the spirit and connect with the world in a deeply personal way.
Hsu’s classical training in acrylic and Chinese painting has given her the skills to explore more experimental mediums such as resin and ink. Through her mastery of layering different materials, Hsu has developed a unique style that reflects her love of the cosmic and celestial mysteries. Each of her works reflects a depth and complexity that captures the imagination and transports the viewer to a world of wonder.
Having received a Bachelor of Fine Art at Pratt Institute in 2010 with a Presidential Merit Scholarship, Hsu has pursued a career as an Art Director in the fashion and luxury advertising world. However, after more than 10 years in the industry, Hsu has returned to her roots, using her art to create action and awareness for the preservation of nature. Her work can be found in private collections across the US, Europe, and Asia, a testament to her ability to capture the beauty of the natural world in her art.
