Pei-Yi Tsai’s inspiration stems from her profound insight into personal identity and individual experiences, as well as her exploration of queer identity. The core of her work lies not only in depicting the exploration and feelings of queer identity in East Asian society but also in exploring the individual’s position and values in a complex social environment.
Within the context of representational painting, Pei-Yi Tsai integrates these emotions and struggles into her works, reflecting the challenges individuals face when confronting issues of identity and societal pressure.
Additionally, her creations extensively delve into various aspects of personal identity, including gender, culture, family, and self-growth, with these themes running through her body of work.
