China Town - Upper Cross Street Shophouses
Qty:1 USD240.00
DESCRIPTION
This artwork captures the vibrant charm of Upper Cross Street in Chinatown, Singapore, where beautifully preserved shophouses stand as a reminder of the city’s rich cultural heritage. Painted in watercolours, the piece highlights the ornate facades, pastel tones, and timeless details that make these buildings such iconic landmarks. While predominantly shaped by Chinese immigrants, the area was also home to other communities. Shophouses here doubled as homes, businesses, and clan associations.

This painting is both an artwork and a tribute to Singapore’s past – a reminder of the beauty and strength found in its cultural roots. Bring a touch of Singapore’s history and charm into your space!

Nestled in the heart of Singapore, the Capitol Kempinski Hotel is a stunning blend of luxury, history, and modern elegance. This beautifully restored hotel occupies a prime location, seamlessly integrating the historic Capitol Building and the iconic Stamford House.
This beautiful watercolour artwork captures the hotel’s elegant façade and showcases the hotel’s intricate architectural details, from its classic columns to the charming surrounding landscape. Through this painting I have attempted to bring the scene to life, evoking a sense of tranquility and sophistication that reflects the hotel’s ambiance.
Fun Fact: The Capitol Kempinski is housed in a building that dates back to the 1930s and was originally a cinema! This rich history adds a layer of depth to the painting, reminding viewers of the vibrant stories woven into the fabric of this iconic location.
