The perspective towards women is ever-changing throughout the years, and it’s always a fascinating topic for me to observe and consume. Being a woman myself, I question the notion of how society views women as mothers bearing children, being housewives and adhering to other patriarchal structure society has conformed itself to.
The concept of women and their roles have been upgraded throughout the past few years, whereby we can notice the uprise of strong, empowering females are taking over mass media in all forms of shapes, sizes and ages. So, what does it truly mean by being a woman in this day and age?
As I evolve physically and spiritually as an artist and a woman, I am constantly moved by the uniqueness of females and their “roles” in the 21st Century, that is now being translated into my art. I believe emotions are the most important element in any of my artworks, hence the portrayal of figurative art paired with my choice of colour palettes are able to give way to emote the feelings that I wish to depict.
I am a visual artist born in Penang, Malaysia. Words and numbers weren’t my forte, however, I found solace through a different form of communication with colours.
I approach my paintings by using intuitive colours as my reference, this implies to what is being fed to me on a soul level while I am conceptualising any of my works. I have experimented with many mediums, from fabric collages to sculptures throughout the years, however, nowadays, I am much more comfortable painting as a form of communication.
