Artist profile

I started painting in 2005 in New Zealand during high school. I am influenced by my fascination with surrealists and fantasy artists especially Salvador Dali, Max Ernst and Vincent Di Fate. I draw my inspiration from my subconscious memories, partly growing up as a child in Malaysia without much exposure to art until I moved to NZ to study. Painting provides me a platform to express artistic intuition with my memories and I think it is important to appreciate memories that cannot be relived or recreated in any dimension especially memories that appear in tomorrow's dreams and wishes.

I am currently studying to be an architect in the University of Auckland.
