Hia Chin Ngan (邢振彦) is a Malaysian artist born in 1971. He studied Fine Art at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art (KLCA) from 1992 to 1994.

Left Painting : The artist works predominantly with warm golden, brown and earthy tones, giving the painting a nostalgic and harmonious atmosphere. Particular attention is given to the intricate weaving of the basket and the individual feathers of each bird. Against the textured background, the flashes of pink, green and purple provide subtle colour contrasts while allowing the birds to remain the main focus.
Right Painting : This beautiful watercolour captures a quiet moment of rural life, where a simple wheelbarrow is filled generously with freshly harvested bananas. Surrounded by lush banana leaves and tropical greenery, the scene feels wonderfully familiar, reflecting the simplicity and natural abundance of the Malaysian countryside.
For collectors who enjoy Malaysian art with a sense of nostalgia, nature and cultural familiarity, Hia Chin Ngan’s works offer something both visually pleasing and emotionally approachable.
