Yap Wen Shan

Artist statement

My painting style pursues the fusion of contemporary and classical, realism and expressionism. Through the theme of nature and portraiture, I express the balance of dynamics and movement with the use of lighting techniques in classical paintings, the colors of contemporary art, the foundations of realism, the strokes of expressionism and the integration of romantic atmosphere.

Experience and dependable Art Instructor with over 15 years of experience in teaching art. Held numerous group and solo art exhibitions. Excellent reputation for providing customer satisfaction.

Graduated with a Diploma in fine art and spent 2 years in Paris to learn French and Art. Passed Test de Connexion de Francais and mastered the fine art of life drawing at the established Atelier Beaux-Arts de Mairie de Paris. The capital of the arts offered ample opportunities to meet artists from different parts of the world and be inspired by the dynamic arts scene.
