This artist’s story is close to my heart. Apart from the both of us being Canadians, I was also in the journalism/ media industry and was also “forced to find another way to exercise creativity as outlets were limited. Though I went through that transition in Hong Kong and ended up starting this art and … Continued
Japan, to a lot of us who were born in the ’80s or before in Hong Kong, would be referred to as our “real” home. It’s no exaggeration.

Starting by constructing the bone, and then adding, bit by bit, layers of detail that delve into deeper a narrative – I weave my essays with careful gestures of the pen, … Continued
Emma Ruff‘s creations depict my life of twenty-one years perfectly. When I first set eyes upon her work, I was immediately taken back to the year 2000; my hazy childhood filled with half-read newspapers, a plastic box full of Crayola, and a small tub of PDA glue – it was paper mâché time.

Motion art designer and founder Nahuel Salcedo calls Onesal an art direction studio – a collective made up of “self-defined visual cooks” working on versatile animation projects that are open to an infinite number of possible definitions.
