ARTWORK
B L I S S
30 x 30 inch | Oil on canvas
Synopsis = I had always admired flowers painted especially by the Dutch masters. This time, I was inspired by this particular work by Jan Frans van Dael - Flowers Still Life on a marble ledge. It's interesting to the eye and I felt an inner joy and bliss whenever I see this, and hope the viewer feels the same way too...A mixture of various flowers in a delicious mix of colors and textures brings out their 'fragrance' to the soul.

https://www.instagram.com/lowbelinda/ What started as a hobby has evolved since I started painting toward the end of 2011 to something that I am passionate about. I had no formal training in the arts in school. Due to an illness earlier in 2020 amidst the covid-19 pandemic, I told myself that I should not be deterred by illness or even age to stop doing what I love. I feel I should follow through the purpose in my life and it is this force that drove me to keep going on. For painting on canvases = 14 years and murals = 12 years to date My style - Post impressionistic, expressionistic and sometimes veering toward realism. My forte lies in (but not limited to) portraiture, landscapes, cityscapes/architecture, seascapes. I love to use bold colors and strong brushstrokes showing intense emotions exuding and transcending these to the viewer. I want to make a contribution by sharing with society as best I can and in whatever opportunities that lie ahead. I feel I have achieved and fulfilled that purpose when a piece of myself goes to somewhere or someone's home in that painting. The journey continues and moves toward what seems exciting times... Belinda had exhibited in Barcelona, New York, Zurich / Basel (Switzerland), Miami (Florida/USA), Kalamatas (Greece), Rivendal in Larochemillay (Morvan, France), and Singapore - Singapore Council of Women's Association, My Art Space, Gautama Gallery, Galeri Utama, Galeri Nila at the Foothills, Fort Canning, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Bosch Building, School of Thoughts, The Arts House (Old Parliament Building), Queenstown Community Hall, Gardens by the Bay Murals (from 2013) - More than 110 walls (exterior including interior) at Clarke Quay, MacPherson, Punggol, Jurong, Chinatown, Holland Village, Chip Bee Gardens, North Buona Vista, Commonwealth, Upper Bukit Timah, Sembawang, Pulau Ubin, Hougang, Toa Payoh, Yishun, Marine Parade, Pasir Ris, Upper Thomson, Club Street, Tanjong Pagar, Jurong Island, Bangkit (Bukit Panjang), Balestier, Sennett Estate (Changi), Tanglin Halt, and still counting...Commissioned work include a language school, homes, cafes, therapy centres, old folk homes, seniors day care centres, hair salon and wellness centre.
