Essahqinoirs, born in 1991, is a Hong Kong-based mural artist with an aesthetic unlocking a compromising harmony between the organic and the artificial, combining dynamic human forms with mechanical elements. With a focus on monochromatic fine line drawings on paper and sprayed mural paintings, she explores dynamic, often multilayered, abstract structures to create an imaginary, unfamiliar atmosphere inspired by personal documentations of familiar surroundings. The simplistic, vertically-orientated forms are a response to the notion of written Chinese formation, aiming to retain the fluidity and longevity of calligraphy in an non-traditional urban approach.
