Tong Xin’s award-winning work, She Waited, is a deeply personal mixed-media painting measuring 175 × 175 cm, created using acrylic, cement and ink. The work reflects on his grandmother’s final year of life, exploring vulnerability, caregiving, loss, memory and the enduring presence of love.

This prestigious achievement marks a significant milestone in Tong Xin’s artistic journey and a historic moment for Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA), which has waited 16 years to celebrate its first UOB Painting of the Year Malaysia Grand Prize winner.

恭喜 马来西亚艺术学院（MIA）纯美术系毕业生林彤芯 荣获 2026年UOB年度绘画大奖（马来西亚）Established Artist Category（资深艺术家组）大奖，并于第16届UOB年度绘画大奖（马来西亚）中夺得冠军，赢得 RM100,000现金奖金及奖杯！ 🏆💰

林彤芯的获奖作品 《She Waited》 是一幅充满个人情感的混合媒介画作，尺寸为 175 × 175 厘米，以丙烯、混凝土及墨水创作。作品以祖母生命最后一年为创作核心，探讨身体的脆弱、照护、失去、记忆，以及永恒的亲情与爱。

🎤 为什么有些人唱歌很用力，声音却不够自由？

一个「陀螺仪」，看似只是简单地旋转，真正关键的，却是——如何减少不必要的摩擦，让力量有效地运作。
在歌唱中，其实也是如此。
声音不是越用力越好。
真正重要的是：身体如何运作、力量如何传递，以及声音如何在身体中「流动」。

这一次，让叶汉良老师带你从身体的「形」与「意」，重新理解歌唱。
🎶 XYL形意流国际流行声乐系统唱法讲座
这不是单纯教你「怎么唱高音」，
而是带你重新探索：
✨ 如何减少歌唱时不必要的摩擦与负担
✨ 如何建立更有效率的身体状态
✨ 如何让声音更稳定、更有穿透力
✨ 如何找到属于自己的自然发声方式
你以为你缺的是气息，
也许，你缺的是「状态」。

From the first brushstroke to the final touches, everyone had the opportunity to unleash their creativity and bring their very own acrylic masterpiece to life! 🖌️🌈
