Our Story
yiliyuli was created because art matters to our wellbeing
Soul Matters
My love of art developed during my time in rural England. It was the time when I saw more sheep and landscapes than humans. I was rather keen to become an artist, but my parents stressed that a professional career is a safe boat, as it was hard for ethnic minorities to survive in the UK during the 90s.
In 2015, a health wake-up call had led me to paint as part of my recovery regime. ‘I needed to rest, but I was reluctant to watch TV all day. Painting was something I could do with my children, anywhere and everywhere!’ My proud daughter decided to spread the word, and I have since gained much popularity among other mothers at social gatherings, and even made it to the national news.
I love miniature paintings and they are very much a reflection of my past & present, by imagination or in reality, including signature pieces, the ‘Wedding Hydrangea’ in the Flower Power Range, the wedding bouquet my close friend had made for me by picking the flowers from my mummy’s very own English garden.

Mission Matters
Be You! Be Beautiful!
For our own handpainted collection, you may see similarities between the paintings, embroidered pendants, and other forms of yiliyuli’s work, but they are never the same. Frankly, it’s impossible to duplicate intricate work such as ours as every piece is either directly handpainted or manually assembled. This is also a commitment from yiliyuli to our customers, whether they want to put into usage, or are bona fide collectors. The important message here is that they will each own a unique piece of art by yiliyuli.
History Matters

There’s no doubt about the timeless appeal of vintage and antiques, especially those that were made before industrialisation.
It’s our passion to search around the world for rare treasures. Whereas the other series are leaning towards the Victorian and post World War II era. Our collections blend vintage and contemporary together, containing rare 1920’s-1980’s adornments and trinkets, and modern metals and gemstones even freshwater pearls.
