About Me

I’m Lai Ki (or Kate), an oil painter drawn to the language of abstraction — a space where emotion, identity, and movement intertwine. My work unfolds through intuition: layers of color and texture that speak in ways words cannot.

As a contemporary and hip-hop dancer, I paint with the same sense of rhythm and flow — gestures caught mid-motion, echoes of movement suspended in stillness. Each brushstroke is both impulse and release, tracing the quiet choreography of feeling.

I don’t paint toward an image, but toward a truth — something raw, fleeting, and honest. The canvas often holds what I cannot say aloud, inviting you to sense rather than decipher.

Each painting is a conversation without words — an invitation to feel something real, and perhaps, something shared.
