Christine R. Bay
Artist (Pop-surrealist), Visual Artist, Singapore
Christine R. Bay is a visual artist, pop-surrealist and maker from Singapore; and she dabbles in various traditional, digital and mixed media.
Her works mostly revolve around using human portraits as a representation of the story she wants to tell and the values she wants to convey. She also plays a lot on symbolisms via surreal elements that she includes in her artworks. She is now also experimenting with more sculptural projects, exploring the relationship between 3D sculpted elements and the physical space.
While she is mainly self-taught, she has attended various art courses and masterclasses held by esteemed artists, like Angela Maria Sierra (@risochan on IG) and Shana Levenson. She has also completed a diploma on Toy Production with 3DSense Media School in 2022.
