Lisa Wong Sook Kuan is a Malaysian artist who developed her practice while attending California College of the Art in San Francisco where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. Lisa has always been drawn to images that champion one’s personal truths and strives to represent elegance, the imperfect and the fleeting in her artworks.

Lisa works are often ornate, surrealistic, and are a depiction of different emotive states inspired by the complexities of human nature. Her work spans from intricate ink pieces to brightly-hued acrylic creations. Each work tells a story of the human condition through a means of anthropomorphism and the natural world. Her artistic inspiration is drawn from the likes of Takato Yamamoto, James Jean, and Chinese traditional painting. Occasionally, she also ventures into classical art, utilizing graphite, oil paint and charcoal.

Lisa has exhibited her work globally in Spain, USA, Hong Kong and Malaysia
