Artist Profile

Yvonne Loo is a self-taught artist born in Singapore, specialising in wildlife, landscapes and other semi-abstract works.

From a young age, Yvonne had a deep exposure to the humanities, arts and sciences in school, exploring different ways of ‘seeing’ the world. She eventually pursued a career in science but returned to painting at the age of 30.

Her works reflect a scientific attention to detail, order and rationality, contrasted by a raw, emotional depth, as seen in the enigmatic gazes of the animals in her wildlife paintings. Hope is a recurrent theme, calling attention to an innate idealism which sees our world as a place where relationships flourish, beauty is celebrated and hope triumphs.
