Alley Leong
Alley is a self-taught painter and started her career as an artist in 2021 based in Macau. In her early 20's, Alley discovered that her love of drawing could be perfectly combined with the ancient craft of tattooing to create custom tattoos for clients who wanted something unique on their skin. After working as a professional tattoo artist for six years, Alley decided to stop working in tattooing and start pursuing a full-time career as a painter.
Alley's instantly recognizable paintings are often inspired by Buddhism and spiritual teachings. Most of the elements in her paintings are very similar to the making of a thangka. However, unlike the rules of thangkas, Alley's paintings thus allowing her to better express her endless ideas. Her works often include eccentric figures, multi-dimensional worlds of technicolor combinations, and more. Her distinctive personal style emanates joy and peace and expresses the vibrant spirit and atmosphere of the three thousand boundless universes. |
