Lay-Ing Oji

Lay-Ing Oji was born in Sarawak, Malaysia. Her abstract art is always composed from personal experience, poetry, and philosophy. Oji’s paintings are combined media on canvas. Natural materials and found objects are often incorporated with acrylic paint to create subtle layers to serve the need of each work.
