Hong Yi, who goes by the nickname 'Red', is a Malaysian artist-architect. She was given the nickname because her surname, Hong, sounds like the word 'red' in Mandarin. She also loves how a colour can stir up conflicting emotions - one of love and passion, and of danger and sacrifice.

She is also known as the artist who 'loves to paint, but not with a paintbrush'. Her painting of Yao Ming with a basketball and Jay Chou using coffee were Youtube hits, and she was featured in media around the world including Huffington Post, Wall Street Journal, ABC and the Daily Mail. Her other work includes portraits Ai Weiwei using 100,000 sunflower seeds and Zhang Yimou with 750 pairs of socks and bamboo sticks.
