Painting was something I always wanted to try. I simply had no time to devote myself to it. When COVID-19 regulations mandated we shelter-in-place, I suddenly found myself with an abundance of time. I wanted to channel my energy into something creative that I could undertake without socializing. So, in May of 2020, I turned to online shopping...this time, buying art supplies. Hoping to bring light back to a world darkened by the Pandemic, I picked up my first paintbrush to reflect upon, and interpret, the beauty that remained in a World interrupted.

Through the duality between being a passive and active subject, it reveals a dark and dreamlike universe. Her self-portraits, fusing Fine Art and Trash, are an invitation to explore the inner abyss. Unusual compositions challenge norms, empowering her art. Self-taught, she extracts sidereal images from her melancholic universe, composing pieces that question existence. Her own style, Fine Art Trash, fuses aesthetic elegance with the raw darkness, inherited from Punk, creating striking photographs. Each image, a piece that challenges norms, immerses the viewer in a sea of ​​contemplations, inciting emotional and intellectual responses. Her art, a visual symphony that screams the chaotic and provocative essence of challenging established norms.

You mention a deep connection with imagining unseen worlds. How do you translate these imaginative visions into tangible artworks?

I believe that by listening to music from different movies and soundtracks, I transport myself to another world, a place to escape from my reality, where all my characters and stories connect. Likewise, I seek ways to translate that imagination or stories into a tangible work.

Phyllis van CHUA's products are full of colorful and vibrant floral patterns and designs. Phyllis van CHUA's core concept and features are mostly based on greenery and flowers, which stem from the fact that since I was a child, I have been living with flowers and plants, and I feel that the world of flowers, plants and plants is full of joy, carefree, comfortable and at ease, and that I am passionate about collecting treasures of the natural world. I remember my father's orchid garden is a good medicine for my spiritual enrichment, and the flying winged insects in the garden are regarded as an image of "freedom", which is the goal that I want to pursue most, so I incorporate the concept into my works.

I began my career 5 years ago as an abstract artist while working as an accountant. It was the hobby for me at first and I was learning different painting languages by copying paintings from famous artists like Van Gogh or Claude Monet. It was a relaxing time for me. Then later I developed my own abstract taste and started looking at the art deeper than just a visual object. Some artworks were like a door that invites to the different worlds, a portal to the different layer of reality that coexists with the current one. And later on, I started exploring new worlds and expressing messages from it in a new form of art which allows me to be my most vulnerable and open self in a form of a sacred energy art.
