Why do I paint what I paint? ❤️

"I want to make drawings that move some people...I want to reach the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply and that man feels subtly." -Van Gogh

I have always painted Richmond but not just Richmond, memories, people and dreams of the area that means a lot to me. I want to feel, I want to remember and maybe move some people through my paintings. 🥰

This quote I chanced upon while learning about Van Gogh spoke to me...

✨ Exhibiting these specially selected artworks at the @adlibgallery, Wimbledon Village alongside many other talent artists until 8 March 2026! 

Thank you @adlibgallery for curating these amazing spots for my artworks. They are shining in their spotlight at the moment. 

I am also very grateful for all who supported me from afar and who came down to support me. ❤️

My art has always been about Richmond but it is not just a pretty sight. It has always been about the precious memories, how I would perceive a scenery and some absolutely adorable moments that are worth capturing from my perspectives.

🎨 For enquiries, please contact @adlibgallery or myself.

Is it me or autumn sunsets feel different? ♡ 

Had been my favourite way to end my work day. The autumn cool air, the delightful colors of sunset, the lovely locals by riverside & duck friends. ♡ 

P.S. Still kept the original sounds, the quacks, the water tide splashing...(& the busker too)

Autumn is nature's reminder to slow down, be present & to notice the beauty all around. ♡

All I have been doing these few months or even half a year is to slow down, to be present, to notice the beauty, to paint what I feel like, to look at the grand scheme of things in a span of next decades to come.

More importantly, I have a big project that I am happy working on. Curating my entire home into my own art gallery. It is still work in progress, taking my time to figure out what is best. :) I wonder if other artists do that too to their own home. 

What are you doing this Autumn?

October sunset & friends. ♡ 

Autumn I learnt, is when we slow down and while some of you may already know, I have been decorating or curating my entire home with my own artworks. I will share them someday. :)

P.S. keeping the original sounds of nature & our cute friends, the quacks and the bird chirps. ♡ taken in Richmond Riverside by @miyopaints

♡♡♡♡ Met an amazing couple recently who commissioned a piece (that I am still hiding as a secret till your special day). They said they always frequent @wolkcoffee.uk and happy to see this piece. I am so touched, honored and grateful. Thank you and I am sincerely grateful to be able to be part of your home. 🥹

It reminded me I have not given more attention to this "Growing old together" series more love.

Cannot get over how beautiful the sparkles are. They were dancing. They were shining. They were so beautiful. ✨

Everyone has their sparkles. Perhaps one just needs to find, see and tap on it. More so when one believes in their own sparkles, be so focused in their own path and what resonates with them to succeed and build. ♡

Scroll to the right. That sparkles were dancing! Amazing. How have I not realised for so many years living here. 🥹 I also cannot get over how beautiful the boats are.

These sparkles deserve a post. Keeping the original audio. It just felt natural.

The sparkles are so beautiful and the sunrays are literally dancing! ✨

Autumn is officially here and as perhaps some of you may already know, this art account @miyopaints started because of winter, because of boredom, because of unfamiliarity. Despite so many years of living outside of my sunshine Singapore & Hong Kong, I don't think I can get over the fact that I still love the sun. Anyway, that also means I cannot wait to see what I would come up with this winter...♡

✨ Sparkles ✨
Nothing can dim the light that shines from within. - Maya Angelou

Do you sense that magic or happiness too when you spot the sparkles, the sunray reflections against the water, dancing on the beautiful boats @richmondbridgeboathire_?

I painted how I felt and what I saw. ♡  The happiness, the sense of hope & positivity and or maybe I was inspired and motivated by Claude Monet. Just in my own style.

Everyday. ♡

The inspiration of my art collection, Miniatures. The sparkles in my everyday's life, the little moments, the peace, the cute encounters, the happy memories. 

I choose to document in my way. I choose to paint what I like and to remember. This miniatures collection means a lot to me and is not intended for sale. I am just happy to share a slice of memories with you through that page on my website, miyopaints.com/page-miniatures.

So grateful to connect with some of you through the unexpected miniature amigos fine art prints, the owners of the dogs I had the honour to capture. You all angels, you keep me going here. Thank you! I would have gladly removed my social media otherwise as a private person. I also have a different life from what you may know. ♡

🎨Commissions
Cheers! Adding to the miniatures collection as I feel like. Some of you reached out. I am opening 3 miniature art commissions for 2026. 1 is already reserved. Apologies, I will have to be selective. If I feel that I cannot do the subject justice, I would have to say no. More information on my website, miyopaints.com/commissions. ♡
