Artist Biography:

Irene Chua is an artist whose work has garnered the attention of art lovers and collectors from around the world. The inspiration for her body of work comes from a complex process of experiencing the world, processing her observations through daily quiet meditation and yoga, and applying her vision on canvas one brush stroke at a time. Her best works have come from trusting her intuition, applying a seemingly random brush-stroke to the canvas, and letting the result of that initial act lead her down the path of succeeding lines, shapes, and colors. It’s a process requiring a deep love for the act of painting, quietness, endurance, and skill.

Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, Irene’s formal college education in Electronics and Communications Engineering provided her the opportunity to work for international companies and travel the world. She now happily resides and paints in Stockholm, Sweden.

It is Irene’s worldly experiences, her love of painting, and daily practice of meditation and yoga that has led her to her style of painting. With a canvas before her and a paintbrush in hand, she trusts the initial brush stroke and the shapes and colors that follow. The result is a painting made with an “internal vision” springing to life, years of worldly experience, and a love for the process of creating art. Irene hopes you enjoy the skill and beauty she is able to share with you through her body of work.
