I like painting buildings, places and scenes around Singapore. I have doing that since my younger days. I have captured kampong scenes, rivers, old houses and landmarks and skylines. Having witnessed Singapore’s development over the decades, you can see that I am not drawn to modern buildings and skyscrapers, as I find beauty more in the old places I am familiar with. Singapore is my home, so I choose a particular subject as I think about the next generation. These old buildings and places will disappear in time. Before we lose them, I capture them for keeps. Tomorrow, these will become a point of reference for the new generation.
