With a degree in Animation and Fashion Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Hong Kong, Mada has honed her skills in both traditional and digital mediums. However, it was during the pandemic that Mada discovered her passion for oil painting and fell in love with it. As a young artist, Mada is heavily influenced by anime, video games, and street fashion, which is evident in the expressive and cartoony style of her work. She is interested in exploring her identity as a woman and the themes of femininity and gender through her paintings. Her use of bold colors and playful lines captures the energy and excitement of youth, making her work both fun and thought-provoking. In addition, Mada is also inspired by elements of folk art, which she incorporates into her paintings to create a unique and personal aesthetic. She is interested in the softer, more feminine side of life and explores these themes through her use of delicate lines, pastel colors, and ethereal compositions. With her background in animation and fashion design, her paintings are a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles. Mada currently is working to continue her self-exploration of feminity and gender through her work at her home studio in New Jersey.
