Tales of Blue

By Donovan Ho Ji Xuan, Metta Welfare Association (Arts@Metta)

"Tales of Blue" is a mesmerising batik painting by Donovan that beautifully captures his deep admiration for nature's serene beauty. Inspired by the calm, vast expanse of the blue ocean and the soft, drifting white clouds, the piece radiates a sense of tranquility and peace. The delicate peonies, his favourite flowers, are woven into the artwork, their vibrant colours symbolising life and harmony. The gentle blend of blues and whites invites viewers to lose themselves in the story that unfolds on the canvas, where the natural world and Donovan's personal inspirations come together to evoke a calming, almost meditative atmosphere.
