Sijia Guo (Petitezoe) is a London-based illustrator and visual artist, raised between Shanghai, Tokyo and Kyoto. Working across publishing, cultural projects and brand collaborations, her practice combines hand-drawn textures with playful, slightly surreal imagery. Drawing from everyday observations, childhood memories and the emotional relationships we form with objects, she creates narrative worlds that move between the familiar and the imagined.
