Pink Sunset 1

$0.00

101 × 76cm
Oil on canvas

ENQUIRE

Pink Sunset 1 is inspired by a breathtaking sunset over the Sembawang area of Singapore, which I was lucky enough to witness during a boat ride through the northern waters of the island.

It was a covid time and during that period, we began exploring parts of Singapore we had never seen before. Taking a boat out into its waters felt like the furthest we could possibly go at the time.

Just as the trip was coming to an end, the sky suddenly transformed - an extraordinary pink sunset spread across the horizon. It felt almost symbolic - a little reminder to cherish life's small moments, especially when the world feels restricted.

In this painting, the main focus is the water. I was drawn to the rhythm of the waves, their movement, their unpredictability, and I wanted to capture that living energy: powerful, restless and deeply beautiful.
