Carol spent a few years building a path in illustration and mural work while working a full time job in a corporate role, and has finally taken the leap to transition into a full time artist in 2021. Depending on the project, she often works in collaboration with Rebecca T. Lin and is known for her murals inspired by the nature and greenery of Hong Kong, which also serve as a reminder to herself to slow down and take a breath. Her recent illustration work explores a more whimsical and childlike style, with themes of wellness, self-image/identity and the environment.
梅慧欣在擔任全職工作的時候,亦同時花了幾年時間在插圖和壁畫創作方面發展,最終在 2021 年轉型為全職藝術家。 她經常與Rebecca T. Lin合作不同項目。她以香港的大自然和綠色植物作為壁畫的創作靈感,藉此也同時提醒自己要懂得適時放慢腳步和深呼吸。 她最近的插圖作品嘗試以一種更加異想天開和童趣的風格創作,主題是健康、自我形象、身份認同和環境。
Born into a creative family gifted in a multitude of arts from dance to music, Rebecca experimented in a range of media before finding her voice in graphic design, illustration and mural work.
In 2013, she gained interest in line drawing and polygonal illustration to communicate her idea of organised chaos experienced living in a city; emphasising the toxic work-life balance by producing portraits of pop culture celebrities and local controversial political figures using the technique.
In light of the Occupy Central movement in 2014, the artist emerged as a proud Hong Kong local. Touched by the protesting youths, she voiced solidarity by depicting the injustice in Mao-inspired screen-printed propaganda posters exhibited at UCA Degree Show at the University for Creative Arts (UK).
The journey towards painted mural projects started when co-founding #creativehustlershk from 2017-2020. She began working solo with her designs and execution with continued themes of well-being, painting city scapes or modern life surrounded by a scene of overgrown nature.
Recently, Rebecca began a new illustration project to empower women and promote body positivity by painting and embroidering nudes sent in by the public onto recycled paint tins and clothes for them to purchase – with the idea that one’s proud to display their naked body without actually being naked.
Despite the COVID pandemic, the artist continues to work as a freelance illustrator and muralist, with clients such as HKwalls, Hong Kong Land, HSBC, MISSBISH, lululemon, Nike, and more.
Rebecca 出生在一個富有創造力的家庭,在從舞蹈到音樂的多種藝術方面都有天賦,她在各種媒體中進行了嘗試,然後在平面設計、插圖和壁畫工作中找到了自己的聲音。
2013 年,她對線條畫和多邊形插圖產生了興趣,以傳達她在城市中經歷的有組織的混亂的想法;通過使用該技術製作流行文化名人和當地有爭議的政治人物的肖像,強調有害的工作與生活平衡。
在 2014 年的佔中運動中,這位藝術家成為一名自豪的香港本地人。受到抗議青年的感動,她通過描繪在英國創意藝術大學 UCA 學位展上展出的受毛澤東啟發的絲網印刷宣傳海報中的不公正表示聲援。
2017 年至 2020 年共同創立#creativehustlershk 時,便開始了繪製壁畫項目的旅程。她開始獨自工作,繼續以幸福為主題進行設計和執行,描繪城市景觀或被雜草叢生的大自然包圍的現代生活。
最近,Rebecca 開始了一個新的插圖項目,通過將公眾寄來的裸體繪畫和刺繡到回收的油漆罐和衣服上供她們購買,以賦予女性權力並促進身體積極性 – 其想法是,人們為展示自己的裸體而感到自豪,而實際上並沒有裸。
儘管冠狀病毒大流行,她繼續作為自由插畫家和壁畫家工作,客戶包括 HKwalls、Hong Kong Land、HSBC、MISSBISH、lululemon、Nike 等。單擊此處查看她的客戶列表,並隨時通過電子郵件發送工作或合作機會!
