Sanyu Ho’s art is a direct glimpse into Emotional Urban Surrealism. His name comes from a Chinese saying about creating your own path rather than waiting for opportunities. This philosophy guides his work, which began as a way to express feelings that were difficult to put into words. Today, he uses his art to capture the energy and hidden contradictions of city life, creating a world where quiet feelings take center stage in a loud urban landscape.

His style is rooted in the delicate, clear-line tradition of artists like Moebius and Edward Hopper. Sanyu uses a meticulous hand to expose the isolation in crowded spaces, transforming everyday urban scenes into surreal, fantastical worlds. A subway becomes a home for a giant moray eel, and the streets fill with pastel dinosaurs. His drawings balance the intimacy of hand-drawn lines with the precision of digital color, proving that even in a chaotic city, art can be both intimate and grand.

A defining moment for him was the Storyverse exhibition and comic anthology, which marked the first time he presented his work in an exhibition setting. The project pushed him to expand his boundaries and find his voice as both an illustrator and a storyteller. His dream projects are clear: contribute to a global event like the Olympics or create cover art for major publications like The New Yorker.
