Artist’s Spotlight

Hazel Imperial Tan

Hazel Imperial Tan is a self-taught visual artist whose work radiates bold energy and layered emotion. While her personal style gravitates toward black, white, and beige, her canvases are anything but subdued. They pulse with color, texture, and expressive movement.

By profession, Hazel works in marketing, balancing the structure of her career with the spontaneity of her creative life. Painting began as a quiet refuge during a time of transition. It soon evolved into a powerful form of self-reflection and emotional release.

Her abstract pieces combine geometric forms with fluid strokes, often drawing inspiration from vintage design, personal memory, and philosophical thought. The result is a body of work that feels both intentional and instinctive, rooted in timeless visual storytelling.

Her artist brand, Arte Imperial, takes its name from her family’s historic crest. A symbol of creative lineage and personal reinvention. Since sharing her work publicly, Hazel has grown a meaningful presence through exhibitions and commissioned pieces, with her art now living in both homes and commercial spaces.

For Hazel, painting is more than a process. It is a practice of presence, honesty, and connection.
