Sigrid Gong Bio

Sigrid Gong is an emerging contemporary painter whose oil work explores the connection between spirituality and her Asian heritage. Her vivid colour palette, carefully curated composition and meticulous details creates an almost 3D like visual impact, while bringing a sense of deep tranquility for the viewer.

Although the subject of the work is chosen with Buddhist figure, her goal is not to preach about any specific religion, but rather to evoke a place of enlightenment and serenity deep inside every viewer’s heart.

Sigrid graduated with a bachelor of design from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and a certificate of fine arts from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Over the years, she has worked as an interior designer and art advisor in both Canada and China, while working on mostly commissioned pieces in her spare time. In the recent years, she received the calling to create this new series called Fifth Dimension, which promotes spiritual ascension in the context of dimension through her artistic expression. The featured piece “Oh My Buddha” acts as an anchor piece for this ongoing series.
