If you’ve ever heard of Sylvia Ji and Audrey Kawasaki, one useful bit of information would be that they both illustrate women that you wish were real. Though they have completely different styles, the beautiful vixens in their artwork are sexually charged and awe provoking. At this point, if you know nothing about these artists you may be wondering why they are being featured on FYLL. Well, as previously stated both of these artists paint beautiful women. The intriguing part is that quite a few of their paintings feature some lady-on-lady loving that might make you wonder …
Sylvia Ji, a 28 year old native of San Francisco, graduated from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco with a BFA in traditional illustration. Sylvia Ji’s artwork pulls styles from different decades and shuns any kind of classification such as race, social status, and sexual orientation. Her artwork depicts women that could be edgy aristocrats, prostitutes, burlesque dancers, pin-up models, fashionistas or anything else that you want them to be. And while a majority of Ji’s paintings are of only one woman, in a choice few there is a female twosome that looks like they are about fulfill one of your naughty fantasies and inevitably compromise the moisture of your underwear…
Audrey Kawasaki is now stationed in Los Angeles, California after attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. She studied there for two years while concentrating on Fine Arts painting. She uses oil, graphite, or acrylic paint but uniquely, she always paints on wood surfaces. While Sylvia Ji’s art is more burlesque and edgy, Kawasaki’s art adds a touch of innocence with well-appreciated and well-dispensed doses of nudity. As well as blurring the lines of sexuality in her art, Kawasaki introduces us to some androgynous subjects. Not that it matters what sex the subject is, this art is so unique and beautiful that you would want it on your wall either way.
