About Me
Hi, I'm Silas! I'm a Fine Art graduate from The One Academy of Communication and Design, Malaysia. I'm a multidisciplinary artist, working with various mediums, with a particular interest in the integration of philosophy, psyche and the human condition.
I prefer to work with more macabre imagery. Art for me is earnest and true, attempting to describe the indescribable with visuals that make you feel. Anger, sadness, pain, happiness, shame, lust, contempt. A certain lucidity is needed to describe the soul, the psyche. The push and pull between control and the subconscious; what makes us human.
Aside from art, I also make a living by modeling for runways and editorials — this unique position also puts me directly in the whirlwind of contemporary image-making culture as well as fashion and textiles. Thanks to modeling, I'm in tune with the surface and appearance-level of culture that forms so much of my generation’s addiction to technology and sense of self — conceptions which I interrogate deeper within myself and my art.
