Mishell Leong
Zurich based artist, Mishell Leong is a life expressionist; passionate about communicating her love for life through her use of vivid colours and bold techniques found in her iconic artwork.
Mishell’s signature brush strokes found throughout her bodies of work are credit to her ever expansive and evolving nature. She has been liberated from the constraints of traditional techniques and preconceptions of what and how art should be, using her distinct style and vibrant colours as an avenue to communicate her inspirations and messages to the world. Growing up in the colourful tropical metropolis of Malayia, Mishell naturally channels the luscious colours of her childhood. Each of her unique works are a creative offering; serving to inspire and bring joy to each collector and their chosen space.
As a multiculturalist who has lived all over the world, Mishell very much identifies with Western culture and way of life, as much as she does with Asian. Mishell started out her professional career as a Chartered Accountant in London which quickly transported her to New York, Korea, Germany, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Singapore and beyond. Mishell’s journey in the world of finance came to an end in 2012 when she gave into her true calling of expression and has not looked back. As all great stories often tell, life has taken her one full circle and she now finds herself residing back in Switzerland beside stunning Lake Zurich creating more than ever.
Her current solo show ‘Blossom – A Journey of Love, Life & Beauty’ opened in the UK at Molasses House in June 2024. This latest collection reflects on Mishell’s profound connection to the rhythm of the season, where she finds solace and inspiration amidst the budding flowers and dancing leaves. Each piece in this exquisite collection is a testament to the transformative power of spring, where love and beauty intertwine to create moments of pure magic.
As you wander through the gallery, you'll be immersed in Mishell's world, where every stroke of her brush echoes the joyful melodies of springtime. Each artwork tells a story of resilience and hope, accompanied by words of affirmation that resonate with the spirit of the season.
Each work from this exquisite collection has its own individual story, words of affirmation and other extraordinary details, textures and highlights that bring terrific uplifting energy to any given space.
