Wong Mei Yin, Hazel Hong Kong, b. 1992

Hazel Wong Mei Yin (b.1992), born and raised in Hong Kong. She currently based in Sapporo, Japan. She graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, HKBU. Hazel is an emerging figure in the Hong Kong art scene, whose works range from paintings to independent publications. Through her work, Hazel aims to capture the little and often overlooked things in life - from facial expressions and the seemingly innocuous gestures people make to the hidden detail and beauty of the cityscape that surrounds us. Hazel’s sentiment and penchant for examining the smaller things in life are also reflected by the stereotypically small size of her work, which enables her to fixate and luxuriate on the minute details, granting them the attention they truly deserve. This microscopic approach to painting and life allows Hazel to explore and expand upon her sentiments about living in a modern metropolis; each piece of her immortalises the ordinary and nondescript yet ironically unforgettable moments in life, spinning them into colourful stories for future reminiscences.
