Tiffany Wong is an artist based in Montreal, Canada whose work combines traditional painting and textile art.

In 2019, she was awarded the Prix de Relève at Mtl en Arts in Montreal. As of 2022, she is currently represented by Wishbone Art Gallery in Montreal. Her work is collected in homes across Canada and the USA.

​​STATEMENT
​
Drawing inspiration from my Chinese heritage and utilizing a distinct visual language of shapes and textures, my work delves into themes of motherhood, early childhood, dreams, magic, and mythology. My practice spans painting, sculpture, fiber and textile art, and repurposed materials.
​
Natural inks and earth pigments dry overnight on raw canvas, silk, and repurposed textiles, balancing intentional marks with shapes that emerge though happenstance. I aim to capture an emotional landscape that reflects the complexities of motherhood. Vessel-like shapes in my paintings represent opposing dualities—fullness and emptiness, lightness and darkness—capturing the tension that defines my lived experiences. My sculptures, often incorporating broken dolls and forgotten toys, evoke an opposing balance between preciousness and replaceability. Ultimately, I aim to create a space where wonder and introspection coexist, inviting viewers to engage with both the familiar and the magical.
