SilllDA is a Korean-born artist who lives in Japan.
Her digital work is a construction born out of frustrations fueled by the pandemic.
After being accepted into art school to study fine art, SilllDA’s dreams were brought crashing down in 2020, when global restrictions and lockdowns prevented her from advancing her education.
She turned this period of isolation into a creative hub, endlessly creating a series of surreal illustrations. The resulting images are a finely balanced act, marrying equal doses of beauty and horror.
Influenced by her heritage, Asian motifs litter SilllDA’s work.
Her traditional imagery makes way at times to a darker and emotive personal touch — a touch that evokes the deep subconscious fears of her own mind.
“I draw scenes that infinitely come to my mind inside my subconscious,” SilllDA shares.
“From what I guess, most of my inspiration is my repressed desires and deficiencies.”

Wow. Gorgeous and ethereal. Intense subject matter.

She indeed is intense. Her interview on one of the links says she had a dark period during their lockdown so that’s where a lot of her inspiration comes from.

this is SO in my sister’s wheelhouse of creativity – I am fascinated by it, but my sister would feel such a kinship/soulmate connection here!

I love that! I thing graphic design is an art onto itself, but not everyone can has a unique point of view using it. Being fairly computer illiterate, I know there’s so much more to it than I can imagine. But I loved her colors and her concepts.
