Ng Hui Shuang is a Kuala Lumpur-based Malaysian artist whose practice explores the relationship between structure, movement, emotion, and nature. She holds a Diploma in Fine Arts from Sunway University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Plastic Art from Dayeh University, Taiwan, where she graduated in 2020.
Working across painting, mural art, photography, and mixed media, Shuang’s artistic development reflects her continual exploration of different mediums and visual approaches. Her time studying in Taiwan, particularly in the mountainous environment surrounding Dayeh University, influenced her sensitivity towards the contrast between the urban landscape and the natural world.
Her works often examine the intimate relationship between rigid lines and the weightless flow of freedom, creating a visual balance between bustling urban energy and the tranquillity of nature. With an emphasis on emotional expression, her practice has gradually evolved towards a more abstract language, using colour, form, and gesture to convey inner experiences.
Beyond studio practice, Shuang has participated in group exhibitions, art competitions, mural projects, and community art initiatives. She was a finalist in the UOB Painting of the Year Competition and the Vision Petron National Student Art Competition, and received First Prize in the Sketch in Life Contest organised by PUBC and Senheng. In 2023, she presented her solo exhibition, Ups & Downs, at STEG Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
From 2020 to 2021, Shuang founded White Rain Coffee + Artjam Classes in Taiwan, combining art education with a creative community space. Since returning to Malaysia in 2022, she has worked as a full-time artist, continuing to develop her painting practice while undertaking mural and collaborative art projects, including the Artlamak Collective Creation Project and a mural project for the Peranakan and Straits Chinese Museum, Kuala Lumpur, in 2026.
Shuang continues to explore the possibilities of colour and natural materials, including experimenting with extracting pigments from nature. Her practice remains an evolving journey of observation, experimentation, and self-discovery, reflecting her belief that artistic growth comes from never ceasing to learn.
