ZOE CHONG SENG

Born 1987, and a Seychellois of mixed heritage, Chong Seng studied art in Perth, Australia and returned to teach at the Seychelles Institute of Art and Design.

Working primarily with oil paints, her interest is in depicting the human figure and exploring the creation of images which attempt to capture both physical appearance and the rather more intangible emotional and psychological spaces.  She creates images which encompass the internal as well as the external. 

Chong Seng is currently loosely exploring contemporary life in Seychelles, with particular interest in the youth, women and everyday scenes. She enjoys the relationships between things and the connections they form with each other.

Chong Seng was exhibited in 2022 in Venice, Italy, as part of the Art Biennial "Personal Structures" organised by the European Cultural Centre.
