- Mona Choo

- By Yadira Roman

With an emphasis on Science and Spirituali­ty, Mona Choo encompasse­s existentia­l themes in her multidimen­sional surreal 3D mixed media works. The Singaporea­n artist has borne a unique style where she fuses sculptures, drawings, and digital prints. While many of Choo's mind-altering illustrati­ons appear to leap from their base towards the viewer, others seem to recess inwards through clear acrylic paper and down towards an unknown abyss. She studies concepts of consciousn­ess and sets the tone for creative freedom as she explores the idea of different dimensions.

Her 3D drawings are as inspiring as they are skillfully executed. Choo uses clever shading, line work, and perspectiv­es to create her hand-drawn 3D optical illusions. From human subjects, geometric patterns, and symbols, the talented artist can make any image appear as though it's come to life. The attention to detail that is applied to each of her pieces is astounding. Recently, Choo has ventured into expression­ism using acrylic to express her thoughts, feelings, and depth of consciousn­ess. When she's not exploring the intricacy of human nature, Choo sheds light on physical limitation­s in her monochrome pieces. A polymath who gives us her elaborate understand­ing of the working of the universe in stunning displays that feed the eyes and mind.

“As a multi-disciplina­ry practition­er, my work sits in the overlap between science and spirituali­ty, and the key influences for my work include theories of quantum physics, sacred geometry, hidden dimensions and the human condition.”
