PRABHAKARA JIMMY QUEK

Artist Statement: My artistic journey is a mix of Eastern and Western influences, showing the richness of different cultures and new ideas. Growing up in Singapore, I learned the traditions of my Teochew dialect family and experienced both Chinese and English education. From traditional Chinese calligraphy and ink painting to the bold creativity of Western art, I combined these different influences into my own unique artistic vision. Leaving the corporate world to follow my passion, I started creating art that reflects my unique identity—a mix of modern and traditional styles. I draw inspiration from Eastern philosophies like Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, as well as Western artistic techniques. This helps me find a unique voice rooted in my multicultural background. My artworks use different mediums, from ink and paint to digital art, aiming to bridge cultural gaps and connect with people worldwide. Displayed in galleries around the world, my art transcends language and cultural barriers. Through creating art, I explore emotions, perceptions, and my sense of self, finding peace, comfort, and strength in both my art and meditation. As I share my art with the world, I hope to inspire others to nurture their creativity and discover themselves. Whether through painting, sculpture, or digital art, each piece shows the deep fulfillment and purpose in expressing one's true self. Through introspection and artistic exploration, I embrace life's challenges with gratitude and contentment, empowered by the transformative power of art to illuminate the human experience.
