Surrounded by layers of green, this waterfall flows through a living jungle. Moss, trees, and vines lean into its song. I painted this as a dream of a place I’d love to be—alive, fresh, full of breath. A painting about the way nature wraps you in its arms.

I am a young Singapore-based artist who has been creating art since the age of four. I am inspired by animals and nature, and my artworks aim to capture the energy, movement, and unique character of wildlife through bold colours and expressive contemporary styles. I mainly work with acrylic paints, and I see every artwork as an opportunity to learn, improve, and grow creatively.

Through my art, I hope to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and endangered animals. With the support of my parents, I share my artworks online to inspire greater care, respect, and harmony between people and nature.
