Sylvia Ong (b. Kuala Lumpur, 1980) is a contemporary artist based in Dubai, UAE. She began her career with a diploma in cinematography and has since worked across multiple creative fields, including directing TV and radio programs and producing commercial and fashion photography for high-profile clients.Ong’s work is deeply influenced by the environments she has lived in, where sound, music, and color converge to express nature’s healing power. Collaborating with musicians and composers worldwide, her paintings embody "lyrical abstraction," blending visual art and sound in a synesthetic experience that reflects the rhythms of nature.
Ong rejects rigid structure in favor of a fluid, open-ended storytelling approach. Her latest collection invites viewers to embark on a journey of introspection, encouraging them to clear their minds and engage with the artwork without a fixed destination, allowing for a deeper, more personal connection with the canvas.
