Lost in Singapore

Beaukova’s unique approach to this piece goes beyond conventional techniques, incorporating acrylic paint, plaster, plastic punnet, and glue to create a multi-dimensional, textured canvas. The amalgamation of these materials adds depth and complexity to the artwork, mirroring the layers of experiences and emotions of navigating a new and unfamiliar environment.

“Lost in Singapore” represents the artist’s introspective journey. The title hints at the initial disorientation experienced upon arriving in Singapore, a sentiment many travellers can relate to when confronted with the vastness and uniqueness of a new city. However, as the viewer delves into the intricacies of the painting, a narrative unfolds—a story of discovery, adaptation, and the artist’s immersion into the architectural and cultural tapestry of Singapore.

The 152 by 122 cm dimensions provide a generous space for the composition to unfold. The amalgamation of abstract and figurative elements allows the viewer to interpret the cityscape objectively and personally. The intentional use of unconventional materials speaks to the artist’s innovative spirit, mirroring the diversity and complexity of the urban environment.

Petra Beaukova’s reflection on being “Lost in Singapore” adds a layer of authenticity to the artwork, inviting viewers to contemplate their experiences of navigating unfamiliar territories. The hunger for more discoveries expressed by the artist resonates as a universal theme, encouraging a shared exploration of the boundless possibilities inherent in the intersection of art, culture, and personal growth.
