East meets West in an eye-catching fusion of colour, imagination and traditional-style brushwork with each painting Sija Hong creates, her work makes a great first impression but then calls on viewers to take a closer look at its incredible creatures, bright patterns and finer details. Born in Changsha, Central China, Sija is now based in Brooklyn and takes inspiration from her Asian culture and the vibrant city environment she inhabits. Fantasy and social issues both play strong roles in her creativity. Sija studied fashion design and has a Masters degree in Fine Art from Syracuse University in New York.
