Shavonne Wong is a digital artist and 3D Virtual Model Creator with a background in Fashion and Advertising Photography. Her work, recognized in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia in 2020, often features life-like virtual models in surreal digital landscapes. She collaborates with major names like Vogue Singapore, Bang & Olufsen, and Marie Claire, and her works have been showcased at Sotheby’s. Her 2021 project 'Love is Love' explored themes of love and identity, drawing attention from collectors including Idris Elba.

Recently, Shavonne has developed a keen interest in philosophy, particularly in the realms of personhood and identity within the rapidly evolving digital future. Her art is increasingly reflective of these themes, questioning and interpreting the human experience in an era dominated by swift technological and AI advancements. This shift represents her response to the fast-paced changes in our world and how they affect our understanding of self and society.

Shavonne is a member of BLOOM, an artist collective, alongside being one of the Co-Founders of NFT Asia, a community dedicated to Asian artists in the NFT space.
