Bio
Fenbi is a self taught, ‘analogue’ artist who has explored with different mediums and styles over the years.
In their abstract work, they explore their hidden inner world, often drawing on their experiences as a hard of hearing, neurodiverse queer and trans person with a history of trauma and anxiety.
They also excel at working with a given theme to create thoughtful pieces or to express their playful sense of humour with anthropomorphic cartoons.
In addition, Fenbi takes pride in creating loving portraits of people, pets or even your favourite teddy bear!
Mediums: Acrylic, watercolour, gouache, mixed media and ink – you might even see some sculpture or photography appearing.
