This striking monochrome ink painting by Lim Tze Peng, Singapore’s preeminent Cultural Medallion artist, presents a row of vases of varying shapes and sizes, each carrying its own distinct character and presence. Rendered in bold, confident brushstrokes, the vessels are more than still-life objects—they become symbols of resilience, endurance, and quiet beauty.

By stripping the scene to black-and-white contrasts, Lim evokes a timeless atmosphere where texture, shadow, and form speak louder than color. Each vase appears weathered yet dignified, resonating with the artist’s ability to infuse life and spirit into inanimate forms.

For collectors and investors, this work stands as a powerful testament to Lim’s mastery of ink—transforming the simplicity of everyday objects into profound meditations on memory, heritage, and permanence.
