“ The scenes in my paintings and drawings are concocted by my 12 year old alter ego who believes in magic and animal gods, who is invincible, brutal yet kind; she likes to venture into the dark in order to make light of the one she lives in.”
Hazel Ang is a Canadian artist living in Germany. She enjoys working with oils and graphite. She moved from Toronto to Munich where she worked as a vector illustrator specialising in infographic and product design. Following a decade of agency work, she slowly started drawing and painting again. She is inspired by a good story and all flora and fauna. Her current body of works are filled with folkloric narrative, symbolism and the supernatural.
