Chong Huai Seng, Chairman, The Culture Story (theculturestory.co) and Family Office For Art (fofa.asia) shares insights on the art industry in Singapore in this Silver Spotlight interview for @SilverStreakTV.
“Is art collecting a journey or a destination? My answer is it’s neither. For me, art collecting is a diary. It's a diary of my life,” explains Chong.
His art pieces are procured, usually with a story behind it, sometimes personal, and also in support of an artist. He spotted Hilmi Johandi in his early years, and has followed his progress through the years.
As Chairman of the Family Office For Art and The Culture Story, Chong and his daughter, Ning, help to organise the art collections of those who have acquired much works but have been unable to manage them.
