徐幗烜 Mimi Chui (Chui Kwok Huen)
'Open to every colours. Break through boundaries.'
Artist Statement
She is an artist who is inspired by nature's beauty and the exploration of the relationship between the environment and humanity. Her artworks embody texture, colour, and mark-making, meditating on the association between space and emotions. She works chiefly in acrylic, oil, pastels and colour pencils on canvas, attempting to apply a variety of scratches and wipes to form patterns and veins.
The artworks always contain the elements of nature, not only showing a place but also revealing her spiritual nexus to nature. Through her work, she aims to evoke a sense of calm and tranquillity, reminding the viewer to temporarily set aside life's anxieties and worries and appreciate nature.
Background
As an artist and resident born and growing up in Hong Kong, She constantly explored the diversity of Western and Eastern cultures and assisted nature in revealing its beauty. Origins of a place or a kind of experience are treasured because they are traced back to what formers did honestly and unconditionally. She also admires nature; she realized that nature's elements could link with a society's background and facilitate its development. She is willing to discover the meanings underneath.
Artwork process
About making artwork, she likes to research initially to explore the infinite, discovering her areas of interest, and concentrate on some fields, which leaves her room to unleash her imagination. Sometimes, she collected information from different visual media such as online platforms, books, artworks, magazines and landscapes. They are all the references and sources to start the creation journey. The texts and photographs could give a sense of a picture within the brain. And after that, she will begin creating and testing with different possible forms.
