Featured Artwork: My Younger Brother (Oil Pastel)

About

Isabella Qian is a visual artist working across drawing, painting, and digital illustration.

Her work moves between careful observation — portraits, still life, animal studies — and more imaginative, conceptual pieces where natural forms take on unexpected life. Graphite and colored pencil are her most familiar materials, alongside oil pastel, watercolor, and digital illustration.

Across mediums she is drawn to the same things: contrast, texture, and the quiet character of a subject looked at closely for a long time.
