Reverie in Singapore’s Garden City

By Simeon Tan Rui En

This painting captures the iconic Gardens by the Bay in the stillness of dawn. Bathed in soft morning light, the lush greenery reflects Singapore’s vision of harmony between nature and urban living. The quiet serenity of the scene evokes calm and contemplation, echoing the nation’s identity as a Garden City. A dragonfly glides gracefully over a lily pond, symbolising the delicate balance between the natural world and modern progress. Its presence adds a poetic touch to this tribute. This tranquil landscape stands as a celebration of Singapore’s spirit: forward-looking yet rooted in care for the environment. A heartfelt homage to its natural beauty for future generations. Happy SG60, Singapore!
