The lotus flower has been explored by the artist through combinations of color. A symbol of beauty connected to purity, the lotus blooms emerge quietly from the sunlit gardens, forming a captivating effect. Bold, freeing brushstrokes were interweaved to add interest and texture, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the painting. The paintings of Soon Lai Wai are inspired by the tropical plants found in the Malaysian landscape. Soon Lai Wai graduated from the Saito Academy of Design.
