Artist / Mak Ka Yan

Graduated from the University of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and is a children's art instructor. Mak explores human relationship and the linkage between people and the city in her works. She often begins from scenes from her daily life. Through her paintings, she removes her self-imposed restrictions in life. Her paintings depict pie-in-the-sky ideas in a realistic style, showing the interplay between “reality” and “illusion”.
