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.”More of SilllDA’s artwork can be found at https://www.instagram.com/sill.da/  and https://gatamagazine.com/articles/art/silllda.
