Jace Phiapatansuphorn is an artist who explores the intersection of pop culture and personal narrative, using his work to capture the high-energy aesthetics of life through a refined, modern lens. He focuses on the raw impact of monochrome palettes, using the absence of colour to emphasise form, movement, and the subtle nuances of his subjects. He enjoys working within both ink and digital spaces, seamlessly blending traditional line-work techniques with the flexibility of modern technology to create bold, multidimensional illustrations. By stripping away the distractions of a full spectrum, Jace highlights the graphic beauty and emotional depth found in the characters and stories that inspire his.

Natalie Tan Qi Lei is a graduate from the Class of 2025 who developed her IBDP body of work around the theme of coexistence between humans and the environment, in an endeavour to raise awareness of the conscious choices one makes. Her artworks feature common animal motifs that explore the interconnectedness between humans and the environment, depicting subject matter across a range of mediums such as sculpture, printmaking, painting, and digital photography.
Violette Evangelynne Lovell Lie is a graduate from the Class of 2025. Her body of work explores some of life’s intangible moments and sentiments that define the human experience, focusing on memories, love, breath, hope, and more. While these are powerful forces of life that resonate with people universally, they are subtle, overlooked, and often taken for granted. Through a recurring use of light, translucency and organic forms, each work captures a fragment of the human condition. Though her works derive their interpretations from a personal perspective, Violette provides palpable visualisations of these experiences, allowing the audience to contemplate and contextualise them in relation to their own life experiences. Through her body of work, Violette hopes to shed light on the often unseen aspects of life, including the silent emotions, the traces of others, and the liminal spaces that shape who we are, as a means to foster greater appreciation and wonder towards life’s nuances.
Born in 2007 in Singapore, Wong Min Xuan Jolin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges historical reverence and contemporary reflection. While oil paint remains her favoured medium, she employs acrylic, graphite, charcoal, and clay to give form to her expressions. Jolin’s practice is deeply inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, particularly its symbolic memento mori tradition. Drawn to profound, timeless themes, she re-contextualises these historical motifs, meaning, and beauty, translating them into a visual language that speaks to contemporary audiences.
