Amanda Lim Li Shi
Amanda works with the notions of thoughts and emotions that stem from her memories throughout her life, to share her experiences. Thoughts and feelings can be difficult to express, but what they look like can be communicated through painting. She focuses on exploring realism and expressionism in humans, spaces and still life figures, with the use of oil and acrylic painting as her primary media, and manipulating her art into dream-like works, using psychedelic pastel colours. With a habit of constantly reflecting throughout her life, Amanda generally creates while thinking metaphorically and symbolically in her art.
