Hi, I’m Cynthia — artist, muralist, professional overthinker, and somehow someone who went from making tiny fineliner drawings to painting entire walls.

Creativity has always been a huge part of who I am. Ever since I was little, I could spend hours drawing and completely disappearing into my own world. As I got older, I started creating digital illustrations and detailed black fineliner drawings, obsessing over tiny details and clean lines for hours at a time. Later on, I experimented with gouache and watercolor, trying to find the medium that truly felt right for me. I enjoyed it, but deep down I still felt like I hadn’t quite found my thing yet.

Then one day, my mum casually asked:
“Would you paint a mural in my studio?”

My first reaction was honestly:
“Uh… absolutely not.”
Followed pretty quickly by:
“…okay, maybe.”

I was completely terrified. Painting an entire wall felt huge, intimidating, and so far outside my comfort zone. But I said yes anyway — and looking back now, that moment ended up changing everything.

After that first mural, I got the opportunity to paint another mural in the same building for a local doctor. Then came canvas commissions, and before I even realized it, my little creative hobby had slowly grown into my own art business.

The funny thing is, I had already designed my logo and branding years earlier, quietly dreaming about one day turning this into something real. And now it finally is. I can proudly say that Funkify officially exists!

Creating art genuinely makes me feel the most like myself. There’s something so special about taking a blank wall or empty canvas and slowly transforming it into something full of personality, emotion, and life. That feeling never gets old.

A lot of my inspiration comes from imagination, nature, emotions, and storytelling — turning feelings and ideas into something colorful, warm, and alive. Whether I’m illustrating, painting a mural, or standing there covered in paint while telling myself “one more small detail” definitely won’t turn into another three hours.

I love creating and will put my everything into a painting or mural.

More than anything, I just hope I get to keep doing this for a very long time
