It never ceases to amaze me just how many artists paint at Upfest, and it is truly a triumph of organisation by Steve and Emma and their team. At the festival, artists can be allocated walls, some of them enormous, temporary hoardings or these 1 meter squares, and it is up to the artists to make the most of the space available. Chi-Yien Snow has done a wonderful job with this board.
Chi-Yien Snow is a fine artist living in Clevedon, who paints in acrylics and oils, and has painted this outstanding and soulful portrait piece for the festival. I would guess that the portrait is of a native South American, perhaps from the Amazon region, or at least that is what it looks like to me. It is always a real pleasure to see the work of new artists and I will be looking out for Chi-Yien Snow’s work from now on.

Yeah, that’s a vibraint portrait with bold brushstrokes, plus an interesting combination of abstract and figurative elements. 😁👍

I was lucky enough to meet her at an Art Battle held at Trinity Hall pre Covid and instantly loved her work.
She also painted on Sky Artist of the year and came across wonderfully despite not winning her heat.
