Haenyo Painting

“Painting is my second wanderlust.. ​ breaking me free to realms where my footsteps dare not tread.” Meet Yen, a passionate artist based in Singapore, her vibrant paintings capturing the essence of the city’s cultural landscape in her distinctive colourful palette and expressive style. Her creations focus on the beauty of traditional Chinese architecture, the elegance of peranakan shophouses and the rich heritage of the region. Her favourite artists are Cezanne, Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, Chagall and Kandisky, and their post-impressionist modernist influences come through in her works. With a child like eye, she explores the world with her art journey going hand in hand. Art finally brought her full circle to her hometown where she now has a studio and dedicates her craft to creating meticulous depictions of beloved nooks and corners and her deep connection to them, oft with a sense of whimsicality.
