Yink, the artistic alias of the illustrator, animator, and painter Bea Ysolda, crafts a distinctive practice that intertwines the physical and the digital. Rooted in the ethos that everything begins with a hand-drawn touch, Yink's work embodies a fusion of traditional and modern techniques. Her diverse repertoire spans across various mediums, including mixed media, where found materials breathe life into her compelling collages, paintings and drawings. This is also explored through the use of sound design and moving image.

At the heart of Yink’s creations lies a sincere reflection on societal issues. The climate emergency, doom scrolling, social housing, community dynamics, and the glaring disparities in class treatment in the UK serve as poignant inspirations for her projects. Her dual identity as half Portuguese intricately weaves into her artistic narrative, infusing her works with a rich cultural tapestry.

This multifaceted approach not only demonstrates Yink’s technical capability, but also underscores her commitment to art as a tool for social commentary. In a world where the boundaries between the physical and the digital blur, Ysolda Ink’s practice stands as a testament to the power of art in capturing the complexities of the human experience and addressing pressing global concerns.
