Li Hoi Yee, Eilly (b.2002, Hong Kong) recently received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Li Hoi Yee, Eilly uses her art practices to present sentimental emotions and moments of serenity amid uncertainties and turbulences in life. Focusing on the minute details and fleeting moments in life, she draws inspiration from her photography, choosing the immersive oil painting process to revisit the flowing sceneries and capture the transience of life. Inspired by literature, Li adopts the ambiguity of metaphor to reiterate the unspoken meaning and ambiance of her art-making. She broke through the two-dimensionality of painting by integrating light installations to create poetic forms of painting. This responds to her continuous interest in light and shadow as the subject matter and echoes her search for possibilities to depict the invisible and explore higher dimensions through art.
