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.

‘A complimentary frame does significantly more for a piece of art than just mounting it, it brings out the true colour and impression of the piece to fill the entire room adding elegance and a personal touch of style’

– Alexandra, Founder of Curate International Pte Ltd

Together with Mishell we believe framing is an integral part of the full artistic appreciation of the piece, making it an extension of the artwork itself. Together as a team we spend hours designing each individual framing style to truly complement the piece of art, allowing it to work in any interior.

During the creative process we hand select each and every individual material and finish to create a truly unique artistically inspired style using only the highest quality of archival quality materials to preserve your work.

‘Sirap Bangdung’ is framed in a beautiful high gloss white floating framing style to pop all the dreamy colours – creating an incredibly elegant piece fit for any corporate space or home interior.
