Tulips by Daniel Tan
Artist: Daniel Tan Beng Leong, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA)
The artist offers a vibrant rendition of tulips in a seemingly endless field of flowers. Sunlight filters through the tops of the leaves, illuminating their edges with a delicate glow. A sea of pink blossoms forms the background, while the tulips stand out in elegant variety.
Originating from Central Asia and cultivated in the Netherlands, tulips are admired for their smooth, cup-shaped blooms and cheerful colours which are among the world’s most beloved ornamental flowers.

“’Joy Luck’ is the belief that joy is something we create—not simply something we find. It comes from a little luck, a little effort, and the choice to keep creating happiness even during difficult times.
May this artwork bring you a reminder that hope and joy can always be created, one small moment at a time. Thank you for giving this painting a new home.”

JOYLUCK by Stanley Lin
Artist: Stanley Lin MingJie, Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA)
A lively gathering of koi fish glides gracefully across a bed of soft grey stones, their vibrant hues dancing in gentle harmony. Each fish moves with its own rhythm, yet together they form a quiet choreography of flow and connection. The circular motion of fishes suggests continuity, unity, and the shared currents of life, while each koi retains its individuality. “JOYLUCK” feels both celebratory and grounding, a reminder that joy is often found in togetherness, in diversity, and in the simple act of moving forward side by side.
