"I am fascinated as much by her works as by the mind behind them ..." National Arts Council Liu Thai Ker [1997]
Lin Hsin Hsin (Singaporean, b. 1952) is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist renowned for her pioneering work across diverse media, including early innovations in digital art for visual and performing arts. With a foundation in mathematics and computer science, she is also an accomplished poet and composer, finding a shared abstractness in art, mathematics, and music.
Her artistic journey began in childhood but took shape after high school, when she delved into oil painting under the guidance of Nanyang-style pioneer Cheong Soo Pieng (Singaporean, 1917–1983). Inspired by European masters like Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Joan Miró—who also explored the intersections of music and mathematics—Lin developed a unique approach to abstraction.

An early study of digital art, printmaking. The vivid striations resembling sea creatures under UV light is a maze of wonder, and exudes the curious explorative nature in Lin's practice.
