Pei-Yi Tsai was born in Taipei, Taiwan and is now based in London, UK. A graduate of the Royal College of Art (MA Painting, 2024), their work intricately weaves family memory, queer identity, and symbolic imagery to explore themes of war, personal history, and the complexities of identity within East Asian society.

Using representational painting, Tsai intertwines these themes, reflecting the challenges of identity and societal pressures. Her work delves into gender, culture, family, and self-growth, weaving a narrative that resonates with profound sensitivity and introspection.

Their practice speaks to the tensions between personal and collective experience, through a visual language.
