Artist Bio

Hailing from a coastal city called Miri in Sarawak, Malaysia, 30-years-old Syaeeza Liana is an embroidery artist who enjoys creating with colours. She also plays around with beads, sequins and even crayons. On a daily basis, Syaeeza works as a special needs teacher who teaches English and life skills to her pupils. This includes skills like sewing up to coding. She started her journey in embroidery out of curiousity, back in 2018. All this while, she has always worked on embroidered portraits. But, as time went by, she found less contentment in creating art for others and hardly any for herself. This led her into a period of discovery where she finally found joy in incorporating crayons, glitter and paint in her work. Syaeeza believes that using these things as a medium is like rekindling her relationship with her inner child. Following that, most of her own recent pieces now carry a heavy correlation between embroidery and the exploration of her inner child. Working with special needs children on a daily basis inspires her to always be free in creating, to never think and to just be free.
