Wong Wing Tong’s works are mostly painting, with preference to oil painting. Wong likes the slow process of oil painting which allows him to think not only about the artwork itself, but also his life, the path he’s taking as well as his ideas and beliefs. Wong also has a talent of making a wide collection of art in different medium.
Everyone would enter a certain state of being while painting, thereby reflecting his mental state. In the psychometric, we are often requested to draw a person, a house or a tree as a tool to survey the condition of our mental and psyche.
