Yl-XUAN CHEN

Tainan University of Technology

I am a student who enjoys expressing my thoughts and emotions through drawing. To me, creating art is not just a hobby, but a meaningful way to communicate with the world and better understand myself. Although I may appear quiet and reserved on the outside, I am actually full of energy and imagination, constantly generating ideas and exploring different forms of creative expression in my daily life. Recently, I have started working with leather, extending my artistic practice from two-dimensional drawing into three-dimensional design. This transition has allowed me to better understand the relationship between materials, structure, and craftsmanship. While preparing for this leather competition, I have challenged myself to focus on details while integrating creativity into every stage of the process. Through this experience, I have come to value not only the visual outcome of a piece, but also the emotions and stories it carries. Each creation reflects my inner world and my passion for art. In the future, I hope to continue refining my skills and developing a unique style that can truly connect with others.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
