Nifty Zone: If your art had one message what would that message be?

Alex Cheah: The message that I would love to spread is appreciating what we can see or experience in the moment and admiring the beauty that is in our surroundings.

Nifty Zone: Is there any artist who has influenced your art significantly?

Alex Cheah: I have an architect if that counts!(Haha). I have always been inspired by the works of Geoffrey Bawa’s, he crafted his designs around nature without the need to destroy them. I guess that is my main source of inspiration and where my ideas usually derive from.

Nifty Zone: Which piece of art has been the most challenging artwork for you to create and why?

Alex Cheah: I’d say Peculiar because it was the most tedious and time consuming piece. I spent a decent amount of time detailing it from modelling, lighting and sound. It pushed me to create a fantasized piece.
