Exploring My Artistic Journey: A Space for Creativity and Expression

As an artist, my passion for exploration and experimentation has led me down a path of discovery. From the intricate details of realism to the bold and expressive strokes of abstract art, I have explored various techniques and mediums, constantly pushing the boundaries of my creativity.

My artistic process is fueled by the inspiration I find in the world around me. The way sunlight filters through leaves, the pattern of raindrops on a window, or the interplay of colors in a bustling cityscape. These seemingly simple moments become the building blocks of my artistic vision, as I strive to capture the essence of emotions and experiences in my creations.

Through my projects and exhibitions, I aim to share glimpses of my world, inviting others to connect with my art on a profound and personal level. My passion for travel also plays a significant role in my artistic exploration, as I constantly seek new environments and cultures that influence my work. The sights, sounds, and smells of unfamiliar places stir up a whirlwind of inspiration, allowing me to infuse my art with fresh perspectives and global influences.

I believe that art is a powerful form of communication, capable of transcending language barriers and touching the souls of individuals from all walks of life. So, let's embark on this creative adventure together, where each stroke of the brush adds depth to our understanding and appreciation of art.

Yahel Yan is a San Diego-based Mexican painter exploring the relationship between color and emotion. Frequently attending museums and galleries, Yan was exposed to art from an early age and always knew that she wanted to become a visual artist. She jokes she was born with a crayon in her hand. These childhood experiences of being immersed in the rich, vibrant culture of Mexico continue to impact Yan’s work today. In her abstract and representational work, she explores the relationship between color, imagination, emotion, and memory.

Yan received her undergraduate degree in graphic design from Universidad Del Nuevo Mundo. With a love for both painting and printmaking, she began her career as a professional artist in 2019. Yan has since been selected for solo and group exhibitions throughout California, including From the Masters at Ashton Gallery, Artist Alliance Biennial at Oceanside Museum of Art, and Not an Art Fair (National Show) at ShockBoxx, amongst others. Additionally, she received an award of third place of excellence from the San Diego Museum of Art’s 2022 online International Spring Exhibition and was selected to be part of Jen Tough’s Collective in 2023.
