“To find a Chinese lady taking interest in batik painting may be hard, but finding a talented one who is naturally interested in using batik as a medium of fine artistic expressions besides being keen on bringing it to the world stages is nearly impossible. One such lady, though, is Emilia Tan ” by Soka Gakkai Malaysia’s COSMIC Magazine, June 2006
“Substitute Art for beauty, and you understand Emilia Tan’s approach to art. She is truly talented Renaissance artist and also the exceptional one who is able to work in many mediums, including fabric. Her art is showcased, not only on someone ‘s wall, but on walking people all around us. The flow of her unique designs and the starting hues of her invented colours are available for all of us to delight in. She is a painter, a fashion designer, a clothes label for the elite, a friend of the PM’s former much beloved wife, Endon, and most importantly she is unique. She is Emilia Tan”
by The Expat Magazine, March 2006
“In a complex process of trail and error, Emilia Tan layers colour upon colour, matrial upon material, using wax and dyes to create luminous images of great depth and mystery. The drips and pools of color in Tan’s dream-like imagery are the mark of an unpredictable medium; yet she maintains a superb balamce of design, fluidity of movement and expressiveness of form. With spontaneity of emotion, the shapes in Tan’s work are in continual motion, sweeping upward in vigorous ascent, or falling brightly in delicate descent.”
