"Persistence" Painting

Joseph Sitoh, born in Singapore, is a Chinese calligraphy and painting artist specializing in contemporary abstract ink art. He uniquely blends three thousand years of ancient seal script with Chinese culture, shaping a distinctive modern Chinese artistic style. Through the delicate combination of ink strokes and colors, he presents on traditional rice paper a deep and thoughtful interpretation of modern abstract Chinese culture.

Despite Singapore being a predominantly English-speaking and multicultural nation, Joseph is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. His love for both Eastern and Western music genres, including classical and jazz, infuses a melodic and confident touch into his creations. With 40 years of experience in visual design and aesthetics, as a creative and artistic director, he has received numerous international awards for outstanding brand consultancy, reflecting his extraordinary passion for art.

Joseph draws profound inspiration from Chinese traditional ink painting, the Western Renaissance period, and American abstract expressionism. His creative inspiration stems from a unique attitude towards life, drawing wisdom from the essence of intelligent living and philosophical perspectives. As a Christian pastor, he strongly believes in the power of purposeful and meaningful artistic creations to bestow healing, peace, and love. This faith permeates his works, enriching people’s spirits with energy, comfort, and hope. Over the years, Joseph has crafted an expressionist artistic style vividly portraying the beauty of emotions in the heart and soul.
