Yike Li is an artist based in New York (SVA BFA program) and Beijing, born in Yunnan, China. Growing up amid the region’s diverse ethnic cultures and unspoiled natural landscapes, she developed a deep sensitivity to the interwoven rhythms of life, nature, and art.
Her practice spans painting, printmaking, and installation, often weaving together traditional and contemporary methods. At the core of her art is a sustained reflection on life and death. Through the cycles of nature and the temporal quality of music, she explores how beauty and fragility coexist, and how art can provide a space for healing, remembrance, and transformation.
