Whispered Hall (The Grand Lobby of Raffles Hotel)

Whispered Hall

From sketch to story —This piece took over 50 hours to render — every arch, curve, and shadow detailed to capture the texture and spirit of the storied halls it portrays.

The journal cover carries a quiet duality: its front in full color, its back in the original black and white sketch — a play on contrast and choice. It reminds us that perspective changes everything — before and after, monotone or vivid, all are part of the same journey.

A perfect companion for your reflections — where every page invites you to see from a new point of view.
Happy journaling. 💫

The Grand Lobby of Raffles Hotel (backstory of the painting)
Beyond the grandeur of its architecture, this artwork seeks to capture the soul of the Grande Dame. Every arch and detail is softly rendered—not as precise lines, but as impressions drawn from memory and emotion. As I painted, I felt the quiet dignity of the space settle around me: timeless, elegant, and full of unspoken stories.

My signature incandescent amber lights glow gently from the curves and corners of the arches, casting a warm hush over the scene—like the last light of day filtering through memory. In this piece, I wanted to preserve not just what the eye sees, but what the heart remembers.
