The Nyonya Garden Mural art at Gusto Cafe, Penang. My brief was to paint something that would teach these people how to respect nature.
Mr Koi represents all the koi fish that were brutally murdered by irresponsible parents who allowed their kids to throw liquid soap and ketchup in the pond at this cafe. The peonies represent the plants that were plucked from their pots while their parents watched and laughed.
“We want to enjoy our lives here without fear of being plucked by strangers ~ sincerely Mr Koi and Ms Daisy.”
I hope this artwork will inspire the parents to teach their children to respect and appreciate nature and the beauty around us.

Breathing space? Where the walls inhale and exhale? 😉

Haha. Maybe it’s dynamic space?

Interesting concept. (I love those insights) Client and space. Once said, it seems obvious, but it must take a lot of work to understand clients’ space needs. Compliments. (Linear space or circular space?) 😉

I think it’s from my training as an interior design. It’s all about understanding the client and the space! The civet is beyond my control ☺️

🙂 Interesting that you should use the word “brief”, as in Marketing or Market research or advertising. 🙂 You have a wide perspective on things. (And a civet in the attic) 😉

You’re right. You managed to read his mind and put it in painting.

And yes, some parents should be better examples to their children… in France some teachers have been hit, beaten up by parents for giving bad grades to their children… 😦

I like it very much. Especially the koi. It has a lot of grace and movement (As seen on your FB) Good work. 😉

Thank you. When the owner told me about it I was so shocked to hear how ignorant some people are . Hope the art will help to add some positive vibes x

Excellent! Great message and beautiful mural. It is so important to teach our children respect and the easiest way to do that is to always show respect. I hope your work and message helps 🙂

How wonderful. I can’t believe that people hurt Koi, or damage nature. Heartbreaking. On the other hand, you are doing something about it and I’m so happy for you and your lovely work.
