About

Profile photo of Alice Li

My work reflects my interest in anatomy and the cultural arts, such as historical artefacts, architecture, literature, and much more.
In the past few years I have embarked in a journey to combine these elements and create imagery for concept art. I focus mainly on digital techniques of making art, though I also enjoy drawing traditionally in life drawing.

In my practice I am to create designs that are representative of culture, may that be of historical relevance or completely invented, and make them harmonise with the beauty of anatomy. I take inspiration mainly from different Asian cultures, exploring their myths (or mythology?), legends, and beliefs, and this path of research allows me to widen my perspective on how I pursue my art.

During my final year, the imagery I have explored came from poetry from The Three Kingdom period and Tibetan culture such as clothing and religion. From this, I have crafted a traditionally-bound book, and I have also expanded my skills to incorporate animation and illustration creating a moving model that can be used for live streaming.

This is one of the environmental designs I have created for concept art of a fantasy world that were full of dangerous plants.

This is also one of the environmental designs I have created to show a contrasting modern world.
