A Peranakan Tale

​

Pretty Nyonya:
Perhaps the most significant Peranakan motifs are the exquisite peony and celestial phoenix. In this original oil painting of a nyonya, I depicted her thoughts on love and marriage. In its tightly clenched petals, her peonies hide her fertile musings.

 

You’ll see the phoenix, a cosmic creature often seen on pillow ends and wedding cups, celebrating eternal and harmonious love between a man and a woman. Follow her romantic trail as she dresses for her special day.
