The artist

​

Uhky Uhky spent 26 years designing interiors for some of the world's most recognised hotel groups — Banyan Tree, W Hotels, Intercontinental, Hilton, Mandarin Oriental. He learned how to see a space, strip it down to what matters, and make something that holds.

​

He brings that same discipline to everything else he does. His watercolor paintings reduce complex urban landscapes to essential lines and honest color. His tattoos are drawn from your story, simplified until only what's necessary remains. His workshops teach people that simplification is not laziness — it is the hardest skill in art, and the most rewarding.

​

Based in Singapore. Available for tattoo bookings, private and group watercolor workshops, and original artwork commissions. Filipino artist. Three decades of design. One guiding principle: keep the urge to make something real.
