Marisa R. Ng
b. 1977, Malaysia
Marisa R. Ng studied art at the National Academy of Arts, Culture & Heritage (ASWARA) in Kuala Lumpur. In an epiphany, she discovered on a chance trip to Pulau Kapas that art was her calling, leading her to expand her fine arts journey under renowned Malaysian abstract artists Suzlee Ibrahim and Ismadi Sallehudin.
Her painting style has since gravitated towards abstract expressionism. She believes that pure abstract art comes from the soul and the mind. Thus, she aims to create meaningful works for her audience. Her latest experimentation with aluminium, which started in 2022, comments on the relationships we form throughout life.
