Title: Peony on Navy
Date: Oct 2025
Materials: Oil on birch wood panel, 30cm by 30cm

A contemporary study in balance and emotional restraint, Peony on Navy explores containment and tenderness through colour and form. The peony—symbol of beauty and impermanence—rests against a deep navy ground, the composition holding a quiet tension between intimacy and stillness. The vibrant geometric vase and chequerboard leaf introduce a quiet sense of wit and rhythm, while the faint sigil hidden within the vase acts as a subtle signature—a symbol of personal connection and renewal beneath the still surface.
