Born and raised in the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong, Heidi Lai contemplates the pace of modern life. Having observed the dynamic interactions between people and the urban landscape, she now channels her artistic lens to capture fleeting moments and uncover the essence of life.
Drawing inspiration from her real-life experience in the metropolis, Heidi Lai quietly observes the interaction with humans and their surroundings and uses paintings to capture the very moment and find out the essence of life. The use of warm colours and bold brush strokes create a sense of nostalgia and vagueness to the particular memory. The daily experience as a subject matter instantly taps into the audience’s memories and builds emotional resonance.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
