Artist Statement & Contact

Linzi Chen
I am an illustrator and fashion designer originally from China, now based in New York. I studied fashion design for my undergraduate degree from 2011 to 2018 and recently graduated with an MFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2024.
I love fashion and observing people, objects, time, and space. As images are being formed with emotions in my mind, I let them flow out naturally onto the paper. Realism is my main style, and I mostly use watercolor and digital to create my fashion world. My art and fashion work are more than just mere clothing. As I embark on my creative journey, I aspire to express the emotions and thoughts from my inner world through the lens of fashion and my creativity.
