Hoi-Ieng Lai Stella Lai / 黎 海 瑩 "Hoi" means the ocean, "Ieng" means being shiny and transparent like a gem. I love drawing, I love the colour of blue, I love taking pictures with films, collecting fallen flowers and leaves, pottery, animes, cartoons, movies, J-pop music, kniting and baking.
Keep drawing, that's the way how I keep
shining.

The Girl We Met in Summer
material watercolour
Drawing por traits has been so at t rac t ive to me since I can draw. I love p eople's facial feat ures, body figures and the mood t h ey ' r e s t r ug g l i ng w it h. Perhaps I am just examining myself through drawing others' portraits over and over again, which is some k ind of expression to my deep deep blue.

I th ink female is p retty much like flowers. Flowers a re meaning ful under its' beautiful appearience, hiding. I star ted wondering what if combining the two together, showing the conflicts women may have with three pencil work drawn last year. Recently, I dug out the idea to sunlight and have restarted the project with my new coloured ink skills. That's how Fiorire comes from.

_ No s un n y da y la s t fo r e ve r. I t j u s t g e t cloudy some day, and so do I. When I'm really down, I draw. I draw a lot, wh ich ex treme sadness and happiness are somehow my muse often. I am a sensitive person who feel a lot, I express myself through my drawing, and I wish to become an illustrator also able to express for others.

Animals I love animals. They are myster ious and charming, we never know what they are actually thinking about, then we imagine. A bear might be gentle, a sparrow might be isolated. I imagine, and then paint it out.

Experiments I like try something new with materials , paint or techniques that I've never tried before. Recently I created a series of animals and every single piece is different with the other ones. The materials I've used so far included tissue paper, mosaic, paper tapes and more.
