About the art
Artist statement
This captivating drawing is a remarkable synthesis of artistic traditions, harmoniously merging Chinese ink brushstrokes with the vivid hues of Japanese watercolor. It exemplifies the artist's working period in Singapore, where she drew inspiration from the rich heritage of Chinese classical art while infusing her own unique style and perspective into the piece.
At its core, the drawing celebrates the timeless beauty of a lotus flower. The artist employs fast, fluid brushstrokes that convey the lotus's essence with remarkable vitality. The Chinese ink technique lends an aura of graceful simplicity, evoking traditional Chinese brush painting, while the Japanese watercolors infuse it with life, offering a vivid, almost ethereal quality to the composition.
This artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, as it transcends cultural boundaries to become a unique expression of her own artistic vision. It resonates with the viewer, inviting them to contemplate the lotus in a way that is both classic and fresh, offering a beautiful blend of artistic traditions and personal inspiration.
