Biography
Soon Lai Wai is a contemporary Malaysian painter. He began his career as a graphic designer, while having a background in art from Saito Academy, where he acquired the fundamentals and techniques of painting. He started fusing Western oil paints with the traditional watercolor brushstrokes associated with Oriental paintings after studying Chinese painting. Being a lover of the natural world, he draws inspiration for many of his paintings from the vivid hues he observes in the lush Malaysian terrain and its tropical flora and wildlife. He ultimately decided to make the lovely lotus flower his primary signature and has gained recognition as a semi-abstract expressionist painter.
Soon Lai Wai was born in 1970, in Malaysia. He has shown his work in several Asian countries, including China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Korea.

The rationale for lotus series and rockscapes series.
The main objective of painting is express beauty, this aesthetic theory was upheld by artist , Soon Lai Wai.
Flower was the first subject Soon dealt with his painting career. Influenced by traditional Chinese art painting, Soon chose Lotus flower as his topic to express the view of art. Beside growing lotuses in his garden, he also travelled widely to admire their beauty in Malaysia and south east asia.
The lotus best exemplifies Soon virtuosity and originality, and wins the most applause. The broad leaves, succulents petals and long stalks allowed the artist to demostrate through colours and wide range of compositions.
The powerful strokes can see obviously in his lotus series, Soon tried to break away from traditional art painting, therefore added on wild and energetic brushes strokes to life up the works, the jagged lines, splashes of colours the use of white are so harmonize and layered together on canvas.
After travelling some local and oversea natural scene and beaches, mountain site, artist fall in love with semi abstract expressing.
The rockscapes series, absorbed the spirits of Chinese art painting, especially the mountain stroke technical, express on the canvas with oil paints. Its powerful strokes, play with the emptiness spaces, abstractly to symbolize the scenery or landscape. Inspired deeply by Chinese art sense, philosophy and layouts, artist wanted to express the local waterfall or rocks scene in their natural splendour.
