1984年生於台北。畢業於國立臺北師範學院（現國立臺北教育大學），2009年紐約視覺藝術學院畢業，現居於紐約並持續創作。黃海欣作品取材自日常生活情境，擷取滑稽與尷尬的特殊當下，聚焦於各式古怪情節或戲劇氛圍中，以幽默諧擬的新聞照片式構圖及粗概真切的線條，敏銳勾勒出芸芸眾生中各式小人物的生存場景，揭露人在大時代、政治社會與家庭等各種人際關係中，種種微妙且神經質的荒謬片刻，不僅是對各式現實狀態的揶揄，更是擊中人們內心的不安恐懼與疏離，畫面散發出膠著的焦慮感，有某種因無能為力而導致的歡愉反差，或呈現集體節慶式的逃避，精準卻不尖銳，黑色幽默中帶著童稚天真的視角，彷彿是用哈哈鏡映射現實，殘酷仍存在，只是變得較好入口。
Born in Taipei in 1984, Huang Hai-Hsin graduated from National Taipei Teachers College (now National Taipei University of Education). She obtained her MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts, and currently lives and works in New York. Inspired by events and situations in daily life, Huang captures the amusing and awkward moments and focuses on all kinds of intriguing plots or the theatrical atmosphere. With humorous, entertaining composition reminiscing of journalistic photos and substantial and straightforward lines, she portrays the life of a spectrum of ordinary people in this world and exposes the subtle and neurotic moments of absurdity that inform the interpersonal relationships of the times, politics, society, and family. Her work is not only a form of satire to the reality but also a powerful coup to modern people's worry, fear and detachment. The sense of anxiety from the image sometimes gives rise to a contrasting sense of helpless joy because there is simply nothing more to be done. Other times, it reveals a festival-like, collective escape that is accurate without being aggressive. Her black humor stems from a perspective of child-like innocence, enabling the viewer to gaze into the reality through a fun mirror that still reflects the world's cruelty in a way that is easier to accept.
