Soaked in colours and naturalistic inspirations, the paintings by Sylvia Ong deserve our full attention. They are not only reflections of the artist’s perception of the world as we see it, but also of the inner world, of memories and feelings.
The monumental series “Around The Sun All Year Long” is an overwhelming depiction of a certain global state of mind, of a universal drive from fear to hope that the artist would like to foster.
Born in Kuala Lumpur the Malaysian painter draws from her rich experience in various professional areas – from theatre to filmmaker and producer of commercial photography’s. Ong has the impressive ability of painting with a musical approach which incorporates harmonious aspects all the way to synaesthesia. The artist engages the viewer and encourages them to reflect on their own experiences, emotions, and story-telling journeys through the art.
