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.
