ENQUIRE

This painting was inspired by the lush, tropical landscapes that surround me in Singapore. I wanted to capture the sheer vibrancy and drama of nature here - the bold crimson leaves layered like a canopy against glimpses of turquoise sky. The intense reds, offset with flashes of pink, purple, and electric blue, create a rhythm that feels both alive and immersive, as if you’re standing beneath the leaves, looking up into a living tapestry of color. It’s a celebration of tropical abundance, of the way sunlight transforms foliage into a glowing spectacle, and of how nature, in all its unapologetic beauty, can fill a space with energy and warmth.
