What does Chang Bui's painting have in common with fabric dyeing art? What role does intuition play in her work? How would she summarize her creativity in three words, and does she want to tell a specific story through brushstrokes? You will discover all of this in a brief interview with Chang.

You create with a truly fascinating technique. How did you develop it?

The technique I utilize for painting is batik. I learned it at the Academy in the artistic fabric studio led by Prof. Dorota Grynczel. Batik is a very ancient fabric dyeing technique historically used mainly in Asia and Africa. It involves using beeswax to create patterns on the fabric. I have always felt the need to be close to nature. Working with organic materials satisfies that need and, consequently, batik has become my preferred technique.

What is important to you in the act of creation?

The process of painting itself is highly significant to me. I don't paint to tell stories, nor do I use art as a medium to convey specific thoughts. Creation, painting, music allow me to expand the invisible realm of my life. I don't exactly know what it is, but I know that through it, I am less unhappy. I simply want to paint, to experience art in the same way one listens to music, completely abstractly, disconnecting from what my mind knows or understands.
