Wing Sum Sammi Mak (b.1996) is a London based artist, born and raised in Hong Kong. She has held a Master's Degree in Fine Arts Painting at the University of the Arts London since 2022 and she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts of Hong Kong Baptist University in 2018.
Through the lens of feminine writing, Mak’s abstract painting reflects the movement of the body and emotional touch, embracing tenderness, sensitivity and ambiguity. The surface of her canvas becomes a soft landing point for unfiltered vulnerability. Formless, shapeless, and unapologetically fragmental, the blurred boundary evidenced the untranslatable and silent, embodying fluidity and incompleteness. Like a non-linear way of whispering, the initiative expression in Mak’s practice mirrors queerness, longing and intimacy, made possible for space to feel, to heal, to play, to renew.
