Picture of Mingyuan Ye

Mingyuan Ye

I grew up in China where my mother, an interior designer, inspired my love for drawing. As I began creating characters and stories, I initially aspired to become a costume designer, but realized my true passion was in exploring the stories behind the costumes and delving deeper into the characters themselves through animation. I am inspired by the meaning of life and the mysteries surrounding death in my art.
