We\u2019re all about highlighting the amazing creative talents from Hong Kong, such as illustrator Kylie Chan<\/a>, artist Zlism<\/a> and bands like Thud<\/a>. And recently, we got the opportunity to sit down with mural artist and influencer Alana Tsui, to see how her life in New York is treating her, and what projects she’s been working on back in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

An interview with Alana Tsui<\/h2>\n

Hailing from New Zealand, Alana Tsui is a force to be reckoned with. As a mural artist who has worked on a multitude of projects, including HK Walls, a model, and an influencer, this energetic kiwi fell in love with Hong Kong when she moved here after a stint in the States after finishing university. Currently based in New York, we chatted with her about how she found herself as a mural artist, her project at recently-opened serviced apartments The Mercury, and her plans for the future.<\/p>\n

Hey, Alana. Thanks for taking the time away from painting to chat with us today. Your parents are from Hong Kong, but you grew up in New Zealand. Tell us how you ended up living here in HK.<\/h3>\n

I was looking online and found a job opening for HYPEBEAST in Hong Kong. So while waiting for my visa to go through for the States, I flew back here for the position. I had planned to be in Hong Kong for a year but ended up staying for four years before moving back to New York.<\/p>\n
