Maisarah Loo

Artist Maisarah Loo is a self-taught Malaysian, painter of oil on canvas particularly for figures and portraits. Her artistic journey began in school as a child who loved to paint subject matters and sceneries that she encountered. She also plays the piano and loves travelling. She has travelled to over 30 countries experiencing the diversity of life and nature. She attended art courses in Madrid and Barcelona. Her artworks are characterized by the contrasting facial shapes and soft expressive compositions. The "Nyonya" painting is inspired by her interactions with diversed cultures, values and characters. It is now becoming her trademark in the `Captivating Nyonya Series' paintings.
