Artist Bio
Candy Ng is a Melbourne-based fine artist specialising in still life oil paintings. She captures the beauty in everyday objects using light, vibrant colours, and texture to create a sense of warmth, nostalgia, and quiet joy. Inspired by still life, food, and interior decoration, Candy's work often draws from personal memories, inviting viewers to slow down and connect with the moment.
Her work has been showcased in exhibitions across Melbourne, including SOL Gallery, Unassigned Gallery, and Queen Victoria Women Centre. She collaborated with Pullman Hotels on the E/SCAPES by Pullman NFT digital art exhibition, displayed across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane. Candy has also completed artist residencies at Artsbox (Footscray Library) and Kingston Arts Centre.
Apart from fine art, Candy is a sought-after live event illustrator, calligrapher, and engraver, having collaborated with over 30 luxury brands including Dior, Prada, Celine, Porsche, and Montblanc, as well as corporate clients and private events.
Candy believes art has the power to inspire, connect, and preserve the fleeting moments we never want to forget.
