Artist Statement

“My paintings are painted from memory. Countless walks have in a way, burned these impressions into my mind’s eye. These are scenes which are encountered by most people here in Singapore: walkways with arabesque twirls of vegetation, and the weather-beaten trunks of rain trees. Often these quotidian scenes are overlooked, but I find that they are deceptively simple; paying closer attention to them, one finds that they are filled with light, colour and texture. Perhaps it is fitting that such quotidian scenes are fitting for a small format, as there is an intimacy I would want to convey to the viewers.”
