Bio

A woman with black hair wearing a black coat and pink scarf standing in front of a colorful floral backdrop with purple, white, and pink flowers.

Indonesia born, Singapore raised, Mariah has lived in Hong Kong for 25 years. Covid lockdown has rekindled her passion in painting. She is a self taught artist who uses acrylic and water colour to express her different styles, thoughts and emotions.

Her current subject interests include word art, geometric shapes, lines, movements, abstractions, Chinese characters and everyday objects to convey her perspective on connections, culture, humour, family and love.

Her styles are precision, pure colours, geometry, western and eastern influences which capture textures, emotions, patience, depth, effort and time. There is a poetry accompaniment for some of her paintings. Her works are culmination of her self-discovery journey and her experiences living in 3 different countries. There are elements of contradictions and paradox in her works reflecting her personal feelings and her way of embracing both the complexity and simplicity of life.
