Izziyana ("Izzi") Suhaimi is a Signaporean artist who layers embroidery against a backdrop of illustration and watercolour to create refreshing, vibrant and textural portraits. She pays homage to the meticulous tradition of needlework but puts a uniquely contemporary spin on it. It's this connection between tradition and modernity that Izzi is keen to explore through her art: craftsmanship vs mass production; the meeting of historical arts and modern youth culture.
