The celestial crust by Ying Lee in Singapore

This painting embodies the raw, cosmic energy that lies just beneath the surface of the universe. The deep black forms the foundation, representing the vast expanse of space and the unknown. Rich forest green cuts through, symbolizing life and nature’s grounding presence, as if the celestial and earthly realms are interconnected. Gold elements glimmer across the canvas like stars or ancient cosmic debris, suggesting a hidden energy or treasure embedded within the fabric of existence. The textured layers create an impression of a cracked, rugged surface—almost as if the viewer is gazing at the crust of a planet or distant celestial body, holding untold secrets beneath. This abstract work merges the celestial and terrestrial, evoking a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty and mystery of the universe.
