Edi Hsu

The world is so vast and complex. Every person is unique. As I paint each person individually, the resulting collection reveals a colorful look into an entire region’s cultural identity. The paintings focus on body gestures, outfits, and even auras.

I enjoy engaging the world directly. My entire studio is in my pocket when I go to new and interesting places, and I paint everything on the spot to create my Soul Journals. This show is a selection of prints from live painting at Burning Man.

All the watercolors in my Soul Journals are of real people and real places, painted within the moments of a fleeting encounter. Watercolor and pen ink are the fastest media I can use to capture full-color imagery during my travels.
