Valencia Tan
Valencia Tan is a contemporary artist based in Singapore. As a recipient of the Ireland Funds Scholarship (2019–2021), she has contributed works to Ireland Funds Singapore for the Emerald Ball. She has also received a Certificate of Recognition for GCE O-Level from UOB Painting of the Year (2018).
She has an obsession with the concept of fluidity, displaying it visually through painting and textile mediums. With a fascination for the endless discovery of the human condition, she connects dynamism with sexuality and the transience of human life. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes a manifesto of distress and the dawn of a new understanding.
