“Red” Hong Yi is a Malaysian artist-architect who creates brilliant and unconventional works of art. Known as “the artist who loves to paint, but not with a paintbrush,” she uses mascara, foundation, and other cosmetics to give rise to misty mountainsides, vibrant fire crackers, and shimmering ponds.

Ethnically Chinese, Red’s family moved from their home in China during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and settled in Malaysia, where Red was born. She currently works in China and draws inspiration from the culture of her ancestors in her art series titled “Make-up meets Chinese Art” and another series published during Chinese New Year 2014. Here’s a small sample of her beautiful artwork:

Red doesn’t only use cosmetics; showing off her creativity, she uses a variety of tools. Here’s a portrait she did using a football:
