artist statement and inspiration

Inspired by the memories of one of my favourite highlights of Chinese New Year at home in Malaysia - the buttery aroma & crumbly texture of this pastry cookie with the soft, gooey sweet &  slight tart pineapple filling. 

When I close my eyes and imagine myself popping one of these tarts into my mouth - the explosion of colours and flavours and textural sensation is what I see. 

Be prepared to be surprised and delighted by the little hidden surprises of ladybirds and bees as well as the layers of textures created by the leaves’ imprints on this unique painting. 

A mix of glossy and matt textures, pastel and fluorescent colours - this piece of artwork is an instant eye catcher and brings the feel-good factor into any space.

FUN FACT: Back in the day in Europe, pineapples were considered a luxury item, reserved for the few who could afford the labour of love, as it took a lot of effort and skill to grow pineapples in this climate.

‘A complimentary frame does significantly more for a piece of art than just mounting it, it brings out the true colour and impression of the piece to fill the entire room adding elegance and a personal touch of style’

– Alexandra, Founder of Curate International Pte Ltd

Together with Mishell we believe framing is an integral part of the full artistic appreciation of the piece, making it an extension of the artwork itself. Together as a team we spend hours designing each individual framing style to truly complement the piece of art, allowing it to work in any interior.

During the creative process we hand select each and every individual material and finish to create a truly unique artistically inspired style using only the highest quality of archival quality materials to preserve your work.

‘Pineapple Tart’ is framed in a beautifully minimalist style; mounted on glossy black acrylic panel to simply let this stunning artwork do the talking. Allowing all those incredible details, colours and textures of the mixed media to pop.
