Welcome. These are the works of contemporary artist Yi Su—a collection rooted in the study of the human form and expanded through portraiture and symbolic, contemplative themes.

From expressive life drawings to pieces influenced by Eastern philosophy, each work invites close observation and quiet reflection. Whether capturing a fleeting gesture or exploring deeper ideas through text and symbolism, Yi Su’s charcoal and ink drawings reveal a thoughtful, evolving practice.

If you’re drawn to honest portraiture, figurative work, or meaningful visual storytelling, we invite you to explore and connect with this growing body of art.
