The Soaring Blossom

By Cai Jiewei, Artzillions

Inspired by Batik artistry, this acrylic piece captures Singapore’s cultural richness. A vibrant bird, symbolising freedom and resilience, soars amidst Peranakan-inspired florals, reflecting the nation’s heritage. Blending traditional motifs with contemporary techniques, the painting honours Singapore’s artistic legacy and celebrates the fusion of past and present through its diversity.
