Cheerful Sunflower

By Shiow Chai Hong, ARTDIS (Singapore) Ltd.

A vibrant composition of sunflowers set against a purple background, this piece highlights the artist's joy in working with bold and contrasting colours. Inspired by the natural beauty of sunflowers and their uplifting presence, the artist reimagines them through her expressive brushstrokes and love for bright colour palettes. This work is a reflection of her personal impression—an exploration of colour, form, and emotion—continuing her journey in developing bright still life paintings.
