Growing up in an artistic environment, Kuala Lumpur-based Peisy Ting did not set out to be an artist. Still, a lingering affection for art and design led her to Birmingham City University, the UK, where she graduated with a degree in Visual Communications in 1999. Upon her return to Malaysia, she spent more than a decade and a half as an art director in advertising before taking a heartfelt leap to pursue her hidden passion for painting.
As a self-taught artist, Peisy’s work often explores the boundaries of contemplation and emotion in its simplest forms and purest abstraction. Her intense colour palette, bold strokes and the play of space create an expressive dynamic that signifies the pursuit of creative freedom and artistic passion, enabling an innate sensory experience of empowerment. Peisy has been showcasing her work in shows in cities like Seoul, London, Bangkok and Miami, etc.
