Ch’ng Huck Theng is not only a talented Malaysian Artist but also the President of the Penang Art Society and Board of Trustees of the National Art Gallery, Malaysia. To our surprise, Ch’ng did not have any intention of being an artist when he started painting. He simply learned it to repair his broken porcelains. After a while, he begins to enjoy it and decided to make it a weekend routine. Now, his art journey has spanned almost three decades.
