Artist / 陳瑞瑩 CHAN Sui-ying, Zaffer
Zaffer CHAN Sui-ying (b.1991), obtained Bachelor of Fine Arts from Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2014 and Master of Fine Arts in 2017. Her major research interests are contemporary relationships between ink arts and traditional Chinese mounting. She nurtured paper conservation expertise in Taiwan and currently working in Hong Kong as a paper conservator and continuing ink art creation. Chan captures the abnormalities or transformation of seasons, marked with her delicate emotions and surrealistic arrangements of objects. Chan’s vivid imagination created the portrayal of sentimental and spiritual scenery which evoke the interrelation of man and nature. Chan has received several awards, including the Wucius Wong Modern Ink Painting Award Hong Kong, Chinese Meticulous Painting Association Creative Award and the Madam Jan Yun-bor Memorial Awards for Chinese Painting and Calligraphy. She has participated in various joint and solo exhibitions, and her works are prized by private collectors.
