Simon Ng's works are figurative and motivated by human conditions such as identity and desires. Based on his personal experiences and memories, his works explore the recesses of the mind and process it through paintings and illustrations, drawings and mix-media works. The human figures are often distilled into abstractions, appearing in different visual permutations and spatial orientations.
