Lex Lee (b. 1996) is a London-based artist and illustrator from Hong Kong. Working with watercolour and colour pencils, she channels her imaginary world into her artwork with a touch of softness and hope. Her artwork draws influence from her upbringing in Hong Kong where she was exposed to a diversity of East Asian cultures, particularly manga and anime.
Although she initially pursued business studies in Hong Kong, she ultimately pivoted back to her calling in art. She spent a year studying Fine Art at Willem de Kooning Academie, Rotterdam before moving to London in 2022 to further her artistic journey.
Today, she is passionate about exploring the intersection of fine art and illustration in the space of painting, drawing, and participatory performances.
Lex is now open to commissions and freelance work.
