Clementine believes in the power of colour and healing through art. Her works are often considered therapeutic. Her paintings carry a silent passion that speaks louder than words. With their fairytale-like quality, they create a dreamy, mysterious ambience accompanied by a sense of universal melancholia. Her works are collected by private collectors and institutions in Hong Kong, the U.S. and Europe.
