"INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE IS WHERE & WHEN THE CREATIVE ART THINKING HAPPENS."
Artist's Statement
Bo Qiang (b. 1989, Malaysia) | An Art Think (est. 2017)
Bo is an abstract artist whose work finds its heartbeat in the rhythms of nature. My canvas is a reflection of the serene silhouettes of mountains, the endless expanse of the sea, the quiet strength of trees, and the boundless horizon. When I immerse myself in nature, I'm enveloped in a calm, a release, a positive energy that fuels my creations.
As an artist with a background in interior design, I see my art as an integral part of the spaces we inhabit. I seek to blend the lines between art and environment, crafting pieces that illuminate and transform any setting. I love to infuse industrial materials into my art, creating forms and textures that harmonize with the space, evoking wonder and contemplation.
But my art isn't limited to mere aesthetics. I believe in the power of art to shape our emotional landscapes. With functional art installations, I invite you into sensory and immersive experiences, offering a pathway to relaxation and inner calm. For me, mental health is paramount, and I've harnessed my creative journey to bring serenity to the lives of others.
Art has the remarkable ability to connect with the deepest emotions, evoking a resonance that taps into the very core of who we are. My art is a conduit to your own soft spot, a sanctuary where you can discover serenity. I am driven by the mission to share this peace of mind through my art.
