About me / Sobre mim:

Eli Yeung

Hi there! My name is Eliane Yeung (Eli Yeung). I am a multimedia artist born in the suburbs of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

My parents are from Hong Kong and Guangdong. I

currently live in New York City. I work with short video animations, stories, performances, and illustrations. I also love Botanical Medicine. My work is influenced by my experiences navigating three different cultures.

​

I hold a bachelor's degree in Advertising and Marketing communication from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

I am interested in history, nature, culture, sociology and the

human psyche.
