CHANG Ya Chin (b. 1985 Hong Kong) lives and works in her hometown Hong Kong. Trained in the academic tradition at ateliers in Florence, Paris and New York City. Ya Chin is inspired by everyday objects, moments and the mash of cultures around her.
    Her art can be intricate or simple and attempts to lend an invisible hand of empathy through whimsy and a little nostalgia. In her oil paintings, through the contrast of modern day objects and 19th century painting technique and aesthetic, she explores facets of our shared human experience, hoping to discover moments of imagination, and perhaps, magic within reality.
