Returning to Hong Kong for the Affordable Art Fair 2024 was an experience filled with nostalgia, excitement, and overwhelming success. Having not visited since 2019, this trip was particularly special to me, as Hong Kong holds a cherished place in my heart from childhood.
Rediscovering Hong Kong
From the moment I arrived, I was reminded of the vibrant energy and unique charm that make Hong Kong so captivating. Walking through the bustling streets and soaking in the dynamic atmosphere brought back a flood of memories. It felt incredible to reconnect with a city that has always inspired me.
The Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2024
The Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong has always been a significant event in the Art calendar, and this year was no exception. The fair showcased a diverse range of artworks, and I was honoured to be among the talented artists exhibiting their pieces.
The anticipation and preparation for this event were immense, but it all paid off in ways I could never have imagined. I really felt that my months of hardwork and dedication to my craft was felt by the people who were drawn by the colours and vibe of my work.
New Connections and Friendships
One of the highlights of my time at the fair was the opportunity to meet so many amazing souls. From fellow artists to art enthusiasts and collectors, the fair was a melting pot of creativity and passion. The conversations, shared experiences, and new friendships formed were truly invaluable.
I felt a special connection with some amazing women in Hong Kong, even being invited to the BNI Hong Kong Chapter for a 7am start! I truly enjoyed the genuine conversations and heartfelt connections that I made in such a short time.
Nearly Sold Out!
The response to my artwork was beyond my wildest dreams. I am thrilled to share that I returned with hardly any pieces left—nearly sold out! The support and appreciation from the visitors were incredibly humbling. Knowing that my art will be part of so many homes and collections in Hong Kong and Asia is a feeling like no other.
This success has fueled my motivation and excitement for future projects.
Gratitude and Looking Forward
I am deeply grateful for the warm reception and the new connections made during my time in Hong Kong. The experience has been a powerful reminder of why I love what I do and the impact art can have on people’s lives.
While my adventure in Hong Kong has come to a close, the journey continues. I am now back in Zurich, Switzerland, busily preparing for my upcoming solo exhibition in Harpenden, London. The energy and inspiration from Hong Kong have certainly influenced my new collection, and I cannot wait to share it with you all.
Thank you to everyone who made this experience unforgettable. Your support means the world to me, and I look forward to many more adventures and exhibitions in the future.
Stay tuned for updates on my London show and more exciting news!
With Love and Light,
Mishell
