"I try to emulate memories with my paintings, attempting to create a kind of false family photo."

Yves is a self-taught artist from Richmond, VA, focused on familial, romantic, and platonic relationships and how those complex concepts shape our perceptions of self. With a heavy emphasis on perception, they're drawn to looking at ourselves through someone else's eyes.

Yves primarily works with textiles as their main material source, using the relationship between their subjects and cloth-like materials to strengthen the context of each piece.
