My art work ‘East Meets West’ was inspired by my past journeys. Cultural diversity is bridging the gap between eastern and
western cultures.
The major challenges that I faced during my work on this piece was developing an understanding of the combination between Eastern and Western culture and finding a balance. It took much thought to conceptualise the building. The other complication was capturing the ornate and intricate detail in the princess’ national costume. The green and gold silk brocade gown features a dragon and a pheonix. Each delicate line had to be carefully drawn. This proved to be a very challenging exercise given that I was using water color. I experimented with several techniques to capture the true essence of the traditional gown :)
