wei, lei ho 喂，你好呀 :)
this is helen, also known as miiasoey.
i am an artist, a crafter, an explorer, a broken seashell and a walking flower.
from hong kong to new york
/ born and raised in hong kong and studied in the UK and HK, earlier of my works are mainly focused on portraits and human emotions. in my works or in the progress of my works, you can see the imagination and confusion of one’s identity. that’s probably why my works often have a sense of sweetness with a twist of something bitter. they are dark, sharp and self-oriented.
/ i create both physical and digital works with a wide range of mediums, such as ink drawing, watercolor and acrylic painting, collages and sometimes on my iPad. i also love making weird zines with a motto “children books for adults” to remind the grow-ups on unlearning rules from the society, and embracing their inner child.
/ i moved to new york in 2021 and now continuing to explore this city with my arts and often collaborate with others in town as well as doing projects, hosting exhibitions, pop-up, murals in the communities.
stay weird and curious
/ in my works, it is not hard to spot playful bounces between the reality and the imagination. i often describe my ways of thinking and my creations as fragments of life, ideas and elements drifting from one place to many others. hence, sometimes i love turning confusions and curiosities for the world into artworks that are masked with humor and subtle details, in hopes of finding a place in mother nature.
/ the love of walking in the woods, smelling the trees, swimming in the open water, so and so. What i discover in nature always puts me in awe. be that the colours, the patterns, how it works, how lives interact and connect with one another. it is also a constant reminder for myself to reflect. the beauty of perfection and imperfection is what interests me the most and I have started to see that emerging from my works. i make arts but I think nature is the creation itself and what we do is our own version of it.
