Biography
Imaginative, vibrant, aesthetic, thought-provoking, they are the traits of Momo Meng's artwork. Momo loves observing society, exploring the deep emotions of humans and animals, and capturing them in her art. She creates works to be the voice for the voiceless, the powerless, the hopeless, in order to fight against the absurd, the violence and inequalities. She wishes her creations could resonate with the audience, raise their awareness, and be the standing point to fight for a better future, a better society which has variety, equality, unity, a healthy environment, and respect for all living beings.
Photoshop and CorelDraw are Momo’s favorite tools. With an urban design background, her works are creative with a rigorous sense of spatial perspective. Momo holds a B.Eng. Urban Planning and Design from Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou City, China. Momo's artwork has been widely exhibited, promoted and shared around the world through exhibitions, art fairs, art publications and digital applications.
极具想象力、色彩艳丽夺目富于美感,细节丰满细腻,立意深刻发人深省,这些都是Momo Meng作品的特色。Momo喜欢观察社会,探索和捕捉人类以及动物深层次的情感,继而把她的理解和感受融入艺术创作当中。她希望自己的作品能够引起观众的共鸣,能为无声弱势团体发声,能揭示和反抗社会上的荒谬、暴力以及不公,能为建设一个多样化、包容平等、健康和敬重所有生命的社会而贡献出力量。Momo的作品通过展览、艺术博览会、艺术出版物以及数字应用等方式在全球得到了广泛的展出、推广以及应用。
