About Monica Yalan Chang

Born in Taiwan, Monica Yalan Chang is a self-taught artist who is inspired by the colors of her dream.

Her journey started when she studied fashion design at Esmod fashion designer school and then worked in Jakarta as fashion designer. With both countries, amidst Indonesia and French arts and strong cultural surroundings, she starts to learn the oil painting from the old Indonesia artist who taught her the basic knowledge and from there she couldn't stop to paint. When she moved to New York, again surrounded by the environment of new artists and their works, she continued to absorb the new concept to get more experience in her works.
"I enjoyed the time in New York" she said "but to realize what I want to do is the easy part, but figuring out how I am going to do it, is uncertain and unknown without a job or money" So she worked as freelancer fashion design in New York and later moved to Denmark to start a family with a daughter at side and a studio where she started designing her own brand handbags which turned out to be a success in Europe, Middle East and U.S. She hardly had any time left for other things but still tried hard to find some spare time where she could enjoy her other passion......
