Leaving the Wonderland - What You Think Painting

Sindy Yeung is a self-taught artist in Hong Kong. She has loved art since childhood but was educated in traditional way and never thought she could create her own art. In 2019, Sindy resigned from her management job to rethink about life. She felt so lost until picking up the paintbrush again. This time, she does not follow any rules but her inner voice to paint.
 The subjects of Sindy’s arts are always something dear to her heart, e.g. self-searching journey and human-nature relationship. Sindy paints with acrylic and currently focuses on three series: 
 “My Wonderland” series -- transcends abstract and realism and brings fauvism elements. It features a girl going on adventures in the Wonderland, sometimes solo and sometimes with her inner child. The Wonderland is dreamy and whimsical, yet echoing what happens around us -- our self-identify and childhood wounds, our society, environmental issues etc. Sindy invites viewers to visit her inner world and share with them how she encounters these issues. Therefore, viewers may revisit their inner child and think about these issues too. 
 “Harmony” series -- inspired by Sindy’s artist residency in Finland in 2024, where she was fascinated by how people live in harmony with the nature there. In the series, Sindy also includes the two icons of her “My Wonderland” series, I.e. the “magical plants” and the girl with Afro hair style. They now appear in a subtle manner, representing human’s humbleness in front of the nature. 
 “Emotion” series -- This is a direct and naked expression of our frustration and confusion. Nevertheless, the faith and hope deep inside us are also realized during the process. Therefore, we can re-visit our souls and our relationship with ourselves and the world again.
