About the Creation
In “Culture Vase I,” a watercolor marvel blending impressionism and realism, a Peranakan vase takes center stage. Adorned with intricate Phoenix and Peonies flower motifs, this vase boasts a bascular form, featuring pink ogival panels on each side enclosing a phoenix among peonies. The base is delicately decorated with Buddhist emblems, while two blue moulded lion-dog handles on the neck strike a confronting pose. The artist skillfully captures the detailed beauty of this Peranakan cultural artifact in a vibrant and captivating portrayal.
