ABOUT ME - CANDY NG

 

Growing up in Hong Kong with a creative father, Candy showed natural creative flair right from childhood. Fast forward a few decades and swayed by the perception of ‘the starving artist’ she ignored her creative urges and chose a more conventional path, a career in finance.

Despite experiencing success in the corporate world, Candy couldn’t shake the feeling of being unfulfilled, emotionally drained and burnt out, and the overwhelming belief that life was too short to work a job that didn’t light her up.

It was time for a change.

In 2020, Candy took her first leap into a creative life, offering fine art, live event illustration, and calligraphy. After briefly returning to finance, she left corporate world for good in November 2024 to fully commit to her artistic journey.

In just a few years, Candy has seen rapid growth in all streams of her business, including artist in residences, exhibitions and collaborations with luxury brands. 

Candy will continue to capture fleeting moments we never want to forget, imprinting memory, intimacy and emotion through art.

 

Art is a visual record of a time, place, experience, or dream. It transports us to a feeling, whether real or imagined.

 

In her studio, Candy paints still life oil paintings that celebrate life's small, meaningful moments. Focusing on everyday objects that might otherwise be overlooked, she turns them into beautiful reminders of joy, memory, and connection. Through careful detail and softness of style, her work offers viewers a quiet, reflective experience.
