Christine Das

Wildlife Artist

Participated in RAYS

2024

Christine, a Malaysian wildlife conservation artist, is the first from her country to join the Global Collective of Artists for Conservation. With a background in graphic design from the Sain Academy of Arts, she's evolved into a renowned contemporary artist. As a TEDx speaker and founder of SoWild, she merges art and conservation in educational workshops. Her acrylic paintings, reflecting the natural world, convey movement and environmental events stroke by stroke. Christine's work, featured locally and internationally, employs digital art and her signature Scribble technique to address wildlife issues. Passionate about Malaysian elephant conservation, she collaborates with NGOs like WWF Malaysia, using her art to advocate for rewilding efforts and raise awareness and funds for conservation causes.

We respectfully acknowledge that this summit takes place on the ancestral lands of the Indigenous peoples of Sarawak, including the Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, and Malay communities. We honour their enduring connection to this land, their cultures, and their traditions, and recognise their continued contributions to the richness of Sarawak's heritage.
