Evan Chen
Hi, I’m Evan — a multi-disciplined artist from Taiwan, and I tell stories through photography and illustration.
​
I’m drawn to the quiet, tender, and sometimes painful parts of being human. My work often explores themes like freedom, human nature, psychology, loneliness, and the small joys hidden in everyday life. I love capturing moments that feel both fragile and powerful—where beauty and sadness coexist, where dreams persist, and where growth can hurt, but still matters.
​
Through the stories I create—whether in images or words—I hope to offer something reflective. I want my work to be a mirror for those who read it, or a quiet path that leads to deeper thought. Sometimes the endings are open, sometimes closed, but I always hope they leave behind a pause, a feeling, or maybe even a small sense of being understood.
​
I believe the best stories aren’t just read—they’re felt.
And those are the stories I want to tell.
