China 27 January, 2021

Mei Yun 美恩 is my middle name, which was given to me as I am half Chinese.

I’ve always wanted my middle name to be more than a formality. When I thought more about my creativity, I chose to use Mei Yun to represent my art. Mei 美 means beautiful and Yun 恩 means grace.

In 2017, I went to China as part of my gap year. While I was there, I wanted to get a stamp with my Chinese name on. On one of my day trips out, I explored a bustling market where I came across the perfect place. The shop was lined with every kind of stamp you could imagine, all shapes and sizes.

I chose a stone which I liked and watched the carving take place. Each stage of the process was fascinating! The stamp was formed from a piece of stone to a masterpiece in around 15 minutes.

Inspired by the stamp I wanted to capture the unique design in a digital version I could use as my logo. I decided to make my logo black and white, to contrast with my vibrant, colourful art.

I hope you have enjoyed learning about Created By Meiyun.
