Siyu Zhong
Siyu is an artist from Beijing, China, studying Art & Design and UI/UX, with a minor in Business, at the University
of Michigan. Her work spans oil painting, illustration, and AR/VR, blending traditional and digital media.
Inspired by surrealism and Daoist philosophy, she reimagines natural subjects into ethereal forms that explore
the boundary between reality and fantasy. Siyu’s art invites audiences to question perceptions of the familiar,
offering immersive experiences that inspire introspection and wonder.
‘’Using oil painting, illustration, and AR/VR, I create dreamlike representations that transcend conventional space and time.
By defamiliarizing the recognizable, I aim to engage with the subconscious, offering immersive experiences that evoke
wonder and invite deeper introspection.’’
