My Work <<<<	About me
Winnie Siu Davies Started drawing portraits by self-taught as early as I remember at the age of 4 before I could read or write. I was fascinated to draw people. Perhaps that was the first thing I saw, being surrounded by people everywhere in Hong Kong. Then I received my initial art training in traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy. I have found that my Chinese traditional training laid an important foundation for my art development later. Even though when I switched to oil painting and sculpture, I could still apply the theory of Chinese art into new media. For instance, the brave decision of Chinese ink painting strokes encourages me to spread oil paints on canvas boldly without hesitation. On the other hand, the preciseness of every stroke I learnt from Chinese calligraphy can be applied to every cut I make the decision in marble sculpture. One may not imagine that how Chinese calligraphy is linked to stone sculpture. In fact, their theories are the very similar. For example: every stroke you make on calligraphy has to be so forceful and precise on paper, it parallels to every cut I make on marble sculpture. If you make a mistake on your decision, a wrong stroke on paper or a wrong cut on stone, there is no U-turn. Therefore I like to mingle my Chinese tradition into oil painting and sculpture in my work. Brief Biography: Winnie Siu Davies Born in Hong Kong. 1996 received BA in Fine Arts from the University of Hong Kong 1997 received MA in Design from Hong Kong Polytechnic University. 1996 started learning sculpture 2004 learnt marble sculpture in Italy.

Davies' works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, Taiwan and Canada; and her works have been collected by museum and private collectors. Currently, Davies is the President of Hong Kong Oil Painters' Guild and the President of Creative Figure Studio, and the Founding Chairman of Club 4 Art and the Founding Chairman of Joy Art Club at Fo Tan.
