“Can you____ me?” by artist Cleo Peng

Can you talk about discovering painting digitally and how it affects the artist’s journey?
I started painting since I was a very young child. I used to fill all my notebooks and textbooks with sketches of random people and things. I would attract a lot of things in school because at that time, it wasn’t an option on your phone – I always view painting as my personal entertainment. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit in 2020 that I started to move beyond sketches and move art from traditional methods to digital spaces. It’s just something new to explore and a way to kill time during lockdown. I would say this gives me the opportunity to use different mediums to create and try new things that are difficult to implement, for example, motion, 3D elements and AR.
