Vanda Miss Joaquim was chosen as Singapore’s national flower in 1981. The designation of a national flower was part of an overall effort to foster national pride and identity.  Singapore has the unique distinction of being the only nation to have a hybrid as its national flower.  At Qua, our La Salle student Queck Mei Chien, has depicted the Vanda Miss Joaquim with subtle and beautiful brush strokes.  Yes, this is the perfect gift premium for your guests to Singapore.  Click here for details of the various products.

Know someone born in the year of the dragon?  Here is some interesting information about them:

Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons are driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks.  Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone.  Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone.

Give this person something special this year.  A lacquered box or coaster set with the dragon motif exclusively designed for 2012.

Jixiang or auspiciousness is not a unique idea in the Chinese culture, but the long history and variety of Chinese culture provides jixiang with rich content and forms. “Ji means good deeds; xiang is an indication of happiness.”

The crafts and functions associated with auspicious images are very rich. There are sculptures, paintings, embroideries, prints and dyeing, knitting, metal craft, lacquerware, porcelain, New Year’s paintings, and paper cuttings, along with architectural renderings, garments, containers, decorations, ritual objects, toys.

Qua has depicted Fu, Lu, Shou and Xi themes on the lacquerware representing prosperity (Fu), wealth (lu), longevity (Shou) and Xi (happiness). Though at different historic periods, different themes may dominate, these ones are always close to the common people and were spread widely and consistently in folk customs.

Aw Tee Hong is a man to remember. The inspiring achievements he has made in his life to the philosophy on the work he does, it speaks to us as a role model. Personally I have not met him, but reading his biography, it feels like I’ve known the man for a while. Then it hit me, maybe we all do know him. We see his sculptures and paintings at various MRT stations, schools, government buildings and commercial complexes around where we grew up. As they say, the work of an artist is the expression of their character, beliefs and ideology.

Therefore, I am proud to introduce our first installment of the Singapore Artist Showcase, four astounding paintings of Mr Aw’s work on our product range.
