Dreamland Series
Acrylic on Canvas
Dreamland I | Dreamland II
This series was inspired by the colourful houses from Mt.Tremblant in Quebec. Houses impress upon me the warmth of home; a place of peace, secure and private. People share happiness with family and friends. Every single house is unique, no matter in shape or tone. It also manifests the cultural heritage of its surroundings. My emotion has be evolved by the feeling of flowing openness of colour.
