Born 1987, a Seychellois of mixed heritage, Chong Seng studied art in Perth, Australia and returned to teach at The Seychelles Institute of Art and Design. Working primarily with oil paints, her interest is in depicting the human figure and exploring the creation of images which attempt to capture both physical appearance and the rather more intangible emotional and psychological spaces. She attempts to create images which encompass the internal as well as the external.
