About the artwork

New moon in Leo, 2025, the aunties found themselves filled with conflicting emotions, their minds spiraling with endless screws and restless thoughts. But once those were released, they realised all it truly took was a leap of faith into the unknown, a moment of surrender and trust. A nod to the Fool card in tarot, it is both an ending and a beginning, a step into possibility.

About the artist

Niceaunties

Niceaunties is a contemporary artist and designer based in Singapore. Drawing inspiration from the influential women in her family and the distinct 'auntie culture,' her work explores themes of ageing, beauty, personal freedom, and everyday life through AI and digital art. Her life experiences and architectural training inform the conceptual basis of her pieces, while her focus on the nuanced behaviours of 'aunties' highlights the culture prevalent in Asian communities. These women, embodying a spectrum from strange and funny to mean and kind, profoundly influenced the artist's early life and creative narrative, laying the foundation for the unique storytelling of "Niceaunties." Exploring themes like aging, beauty, personal freedom, and the nuances of everyday life, Niceaunties expresses her vision through the mediums of generative and digital art. Her creations are marked by an amalgamation of surrealism, fantasy, and the vibrant aesthetics of kawaii culture. Influenced by surreal art, fantasy, and kawaii culture, Niceaunties' art champions empowerment and self-expression.
