About.
Marissa Ng is a Malaysian-born artist based in Singapore. Trained and working as an architectural designer, her practice is shaped by a sensitivity to space, light, and the built environment.
Working primarily in oil, Marissa explores urban landscapes through architecture, capturing quiet streets, interior fragments, and overlooked details that evoke memory, atmosphere, and human presence. Rather than documenting specific locations, her paintings distill the emotional character of a place through composition, rhythm, and light.
This exploration forms the basis of Streets, in Passing, an ongoing series inspired by fleeting encounters with cities and transitional spaces. Through these works, Marissa examines how architectural forms can transcend geography, creating connections between familiar and unfamiliar places through a shared sense of atmosphere.
