Tree of Life

by artist Chong Yao Qing

Inspired by trees found in Singapore’s parks and a trio of reference paintings, Yao Qing presents a vibrant canopy in Tree of Life. Branches stretch across a soft sky, adorned with patterned leaves in at least six shades of green. Layered brushwork and warm earth tones give depth to the trunks, creating a rhythmic, organic structure that celebrates growth, balance, and the quiet power of nature.

Size: 51cm (height) x 61cm (width)
