Mathilde Lâm

Mathilde Lâm is a self-taught visual artist whose work delves into the exploration of heritage and identity as a Vietnamese-Chinese-Belgian individual. Her art is profoundly inspired by Taoism and Buddhism, reflecting on the interconnectedness of humanity, nature, and ancestral ties. By examining the balance between nature and humanity, her work symbolizes a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western influences.

Mathilde focuses on humanizing primarily Asian women, challenging stereotypes that often portray them as weak or hypersexualized. Her paintings emphasize a profound connection between women and the natural world, depicting figures in harmony with nature and their origins. These women are portrayed with exhausted expressions, modest clothing, and direct gazes, confronting societal pressures, expectations, and the male gaze.

Drawing from her subconscious, personal experiences, and the shared struggles of women worldwide, Mathildes art serves as a powerful commentary on the intersection of identity, culture, and gender. Through her work, she invites viewers to reflect on how these themes are represented and perceived in contemporary society.
