Kiki is a Melbourne-based contemporary calligraphy and mixed media artist, born and raised in Hong Kong. Influenced by the expressive qualities of lettering, colour, and mark-making, she combines calligraphy, alcohol ink, acrylic painting, and mixed media to create artworks that blend lettering with abstract art. Her work explores how words, colours, and marks can communicate ideas, memories, and experiences beyond traditional handwriting and calligraphy.
With a deep appreciation for calligraphy, colour, and handmade craftsmanship, Kiki creates artworks that bridge traditional lettering and contemporary abstraction. Her work often begins with letterforms and develops through layers of colour, texture, and movement, resulting in compositions that are visually engaging and open to interpretation. She hopes her work encourages viewers to pause, look closely, and find enjoyment in the details.
Alongside her studio practice, Kiki is passionate about making art accessible and engaging for diverse communities. Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, she enjoys connecting with people through workshops, artist talks, and public programs that encourage creativity, curiosity, and the enjoyment of making art.
Kiki also offers bespoke calligraphy services for weddings stationery, special events, commissioned artworks, and corporate workshops. Through these projects, she enjoys creating meaningful and memorable experiences through the art of lettering.
