Born: 1958, Malaysia.
Eddie, a self-taught artist and painter studied advanced counseling and child psychology. He has been a designer, art director and a freelance professional illustrator for local and international book publishers.
It was only a few years ago that he started painting seriously. He says being an illustrator was completely different as there were too many restrictions. Painting, on the other hand, is a free form of expression, free from all restrictions, irrespective of what others may think. Eddie tries to keep his works simple and colorful, and encourages others to explore, use their imagination, and do the interpretation whenever possible. Different minds perceive things differently. Different minds see a different story. His works reflects his interests in the metaphysical aspect of life and nature of the human thought process.
Eddie still experiments with various forms and styles to see where it takes him as being an artist is an endless journey. To date, he has sold his prints and original paintings to friends and collectors from the U.S., Korea, Germany, Singapore and Australia. In Malaysia, his works can be found in private companies, art galleries, associations and homes of private collectors.
'A picture paints a thousand words, but a painting can tell a thousand stories.' - Eddie Lim, 2007
