ABOUT

Zoey Singh, a self-taught contemporary artist and architectural designer hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, embodies a rich tapestry of cultural heritage, with Samoan, Mongolian, and Indian roots. Raised in a diverse household steeped in various traditions, Zoey navigated the challenge of identifying with a singular culture, finding solace and self-expression through her art. Inspired by the vibrant hues, intricate patterns, and cultural motifs of her ancestry, she channels these influences into her distinct abstract patterns using the medium of cubism.

Drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Vincent Van Gogh, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Zoey's work resonates with the spirit of modern cubism. Music serves as another cornerstone of her creative journey, providing solace and inspiration during challenging times. Her Spotify playlist, "Feel the Vibe," stands as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of choice in navigating life's trials. Strengthened by this playlist, it was clear that she would opt to use the same name for her artist moniker.

Zoey's art, often dreamlike and symbolic, reflects the ethereal landscapes of her nightly dreams, which she meticulously documents in her dream journal for future inspiration. With a recurring motif of eyes in her paintings, she delves into the depths of human emotion and connection, believing them to be the windows to the soul.

“I have a little bit of an obsession with eyes… It’s a recurring motif in my artwork. I perceive them as portals to our souls, unwavering in their honesty. To me they speak volumes about one’s emotions, often transcending the limitations of language."

Her artwork, characterized by a fusion of abstract, cubism, and contemporary elements, invites viewers to explore beyond the surface, uncovering layers of meaning and emotion concealed within each piece. Zoey's journey of self-discovery and artistic evolution is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and resilience, leaving an indelible mark on those who engage with her work.
