ARTIST STATEMENT AND INSPIRATION

Sirap Bandung is this sweet, pink drink made of rose syrup, milk and often served during festivities in Malaysia. A sip of this vibrant pink drink always brings me back home.

Courage’ is the latest series of paintings from my Botanicals Collection. Instead of trying to recreate nature with my brush and palette knife, I decided to incorporate the lush nature from my childhood into my paintings.

By incorporating real leaves and flowers, the authentic and beautiful essence of Mother Nature transcends onto the canvas.

Seeing the intensity of the results from each intricate and individual leaf and flower pattern was empowering; every crease and angle is captured in way a brush could never express so acutely.
