ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

藝術家簡介

Tam Sum Yi
譚心怡

Sum Yi Tam is a Hong Kong-based visual artist. Her practice is rooted in personal memory and emotional experienceexploring childhood, family bonds, friendship, and the quiet textures of daily life. Employing oil, acrylic, pastel, and ink, Tam’s work renders the weight of the unspoken into visible forms – intimate, layered, and deeply autobiographical. 

 

譚心怡是一位香港的藝術家,她的創作根植於個人記憶與情感體驗,探索童年、家庭紐帶、友誼,以及日常生活中的細膩紋理。透過油畫、壓克力、粉彩及水墨等媒材,譚心怡的作品將那些未曾言說之事所蘊含的重量具象化 ── 呈現既私密、層次豐富,又充滿深厚的自傳色彩。

Approaching dawn, curtains separate lingering night and faint early light. Mellow gloom fills the room, soft glow filters gently. Light and shadow divide by drape, inner worries and quiet peace interlace, revealing subtle conflicting emotions. 

 

凌晨將曉,窗簾橫隔殘夜與初萌天光。室內籠著沉鬱悵然,柔微光線緩緩滲入。一簾劃分明暗兩境,心底翻湧的煩憂不安,與悄然籠罩的寧靜淡然相互纏繞,流露渾然矛盾的內心情懷。 

PREVIOUS WORK

過往作品

Move 

2024 

 

Charcoal, pastel and acrylic on canvas 

 

180 x 120 cm 

 

Every move means a change. Moving out from a home after years of living in it is a big change. Changes not only bring opportunities to new things but also emptiness of losing something. 

Life is a mess 

2024 

 

Charcoal, pastel, pencil colour and acrylic on canvas 

 

92 x 129 cm 

 

The older you get, the more you experience. Look back and you find it chaotic. The mess from my life is my blessings. It is painful, it hurts, and it protects the older me. 

 

Childhood 

2024 

 

Digital photography 

 

6.35 x 8.89 cm 

 

When the camera was facing the old photography, it formed a dialogue between past and present. All the love, depression, and growth had given a different level of meaning.
