Hi, I’m Elaine!

I’m an intuitive visionary artist based in Malaysia, and the person behind Elaine Wong Art and That Black Cat.

My paintings explore the inner and unseen dimensions of life through symbols, doodles, asemic writing and colour. I usually begin with an intention, something I want to explore, but I don’t decide exactly how the painting should turn out. I let the painting evolve as I work, allowing unexpected marks, symbols and ideas to have their say.

I started out painting black cats and playful doodles. I still do, although my work has grown considerably since then. These days, I’m interested in what happens when intuition becomes part of the way I make and experience art.

As an artist-host, my work lives in two connected spaces: painting on canvas, and holding space for others to encounter their own creativity. At The Intuitive Art Hideaway, I facilitate art stays, retreats, and in-person intuitive sessions, acting as a witness and creator of conditions for your personal creative process.
