Thineswari Govindasamy (b.1982) is a designer, illustrator and emerging artist of recent. She explores illustrative whimsical art, feminine interpreting and context of fancy supremacies. This very foundation leads her into multidisciplinary art projects societies while pursuing her BA(Hons) Graphic Design at First UC (TNTU, UK). 

Prior to years of industry’s experience, Thines leaped onto self-established business, which then gave her the liberty to take her illustrations and painting works further. From here, her opportunity to share her artistic beliefs expanded, thus gaining recognition in both local and international art scenes. 

Some of her works are part of collections for local galleries and brands like Pepsi, Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) etc. and also to countries like Taiwan, the Philippines, Thailand and India.

“The world is truly more than it seems to be… if you don't go in, you can't find out.” - Richard Stine
