PHOONIES ART

Pauline Phoon is a Singaporean artist who began publicly showcasing her art in 2021. Her initial works featured pen-and-ink drawings of Singapore’s landmarks. These prints were sold at the Singapore National Gallery’s Gallery Store and Design Orchard Singapore. By 2023, her growing recognition led to invitations to participate in group exhibitions in major art cities like Venice, Rome, and London.

Phoon’s artistic journey is characterized by constant evolution and experimentation with diverse mediums. While her initial focus was on pen-and-ink drawings, she later explored the use of white and iridescent ink on dark backgrounds, creating a distinct visual effect. Her artistic repertoire also includes sumi-e, watercolor, and pigments, all employed to translate her mental imagery onto a tangible canvas. A significant shift occurred in late 2023 when she transitioned from predominantly landscape drawings to abstract art in glass, a glass art titled “B-Infinity” which was exhibited in Singapore, Venice, Rome, and London.

With a background in art and music training since the age of four, the arts are deeply ingrained in Phoon’s personal life, serving as a space for relaxation, contemplation, and self-discovery. As a visionary artist, she continually pushes her boundaries to transform her inner visions and emotions into tangible artistic expressions. Her ongoing artistic evolution promises exciting upcoming artworks and projects.

Emerald Hill

New Zealand

I went on a 3 weeks vacation to New Zealand, covering both North and South Island. The longest trip I made after COVID. The beauty of the land fills me up thoroughly. Side fact, New Zealand in its most native form has no animals, only insects and birds. Animals were introduced to the land by humans. How amazing!
