Regina Wang’s Artist Statement
My art strongly echoes my personality—loud, bold, colorful, unpredictable, and fashion-oriented. Through my work, I celebrate the vibrant energy of life and express my affection for the world around me, particularly my beloved cat. Painting my feline companion allows me to share the joy and warmth she brings into my life, capturing her essence in a burst of color and whimsy.
I often explore my own identity in my art, finding a space where my internal world can come alive and be expressed freely. Each piece is a reflection of my emotions, thoughts, and experiences, offering an intimate glimpse into my ever-evolving self.
In addition to my cat, I am captivated by mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes. These beings represent the boundless possibilities of imagination, inviting curiosity about their existence. Do they inhabit another dimension unseen by human eyes? Just as we accept that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth, I find it thrilling to ponder what magical beings might exist beyond our perception.
As a maximalist, I love to adorn my paintings with pearls, jewels, and rhinestones. These elements infuse my work with infinite joy and wish fulfillment. The process of gluing these embellishments brings me deep satisfaction on multiple levels. It transforms my art into a tactile experience that delights both creator and viewer, inviting you to feel the joy and beauty in every stroke.
For me, art is a catalyst for happiness, a bridge that connects the artist and the audience through shared delight. This is why I create: to evoke joy, inspire curiosity, and spread a bit of magic into the world.
