吳若昕（b.1993）是一位台灣視覺藝術家，創作媒材包含繪畫、插畫與動態圖像。她畢業於英國皇家藝術學院視覺傳播碩士，以及台北藝術大學動畫學系學士。其創作靈感多來自個人經驗與感受，特別是童年時的記憶。每一件作品皆如同一段非線性的故事，由生活中蒐集而來的片段拼湊而成。她的作品常受邀於國際展出，足跡遍及美國、英國、法國、印尼、韓國、新加坡、西班牙等地。
她的畫作常見女孩與動物的身影，運用低飽和色彩與層層疊加的筆觸，營造出帶有微光與透明感的空間，彷彿在浮現與消失間流動的記憶。對她而言，繪畫就像一本可以隨時改寫的日記，並經常從日常片刻與隨筆插圖中汲取靈感。
藝術家表示：「生命中有些時刻會永遠留在我們心裡，而我並不試圖重現那些場景，因為記憶是個人的。我希望捕捉的是那一刻的情感與氛圍，也許是透過描繪一個眼神，或捕捉空氣中的水氣。」
Ruo-Hsin Wu (b.1993) is a Taiwanese visual artist working across painting, illustration, and moving images. She holds an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art in the UK and a BA in Animation from Taipei National University of the Arts. Her work is usually comes from personal experience, especially memories from childhood. Each piece of her work is a non-linear story made of fragments from the world around her. Her paintings have been presented in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, and Taiwan.
Her paintings frequently feature recurring figures of girls and animals. Using low-saturation colors and layered brushstrokes, she creates translucent, softly glowing spaces where fragments of memory seem to drift along the edges of presence and absence. For her, painting is like a diary that can be endlessly rewritten. She draws inspiration from fleeting everyday moments and spontaneous sketches.
The artist notes: “There are moments in life that stay with us forever. But I don’t try to recreate those scenes, because memory is personal. What I hope to capture is the emotion and atmosphere of that moment—perhaps through the depiction of a gaze, or the moisture in the air.
