Lim Choon Jin who specializes in Chinese ink painting has been continually exploring various techniques and
expressions through his art career. Educated in Singapore and Australia, Lim Choon Jin brings together the elements of
Western and Eastern art influence into his creations. Through his observations and keen insight, traditional Chinese
landscape paintings of “山水” take on new forms and contemporary appearances. Lim considers first and foremost,
observations as the basic and essential resource for knowledge and subsequently personal reflection as the key
foundation for handling art creation. With this unique mindset, Lim Choon Jin presents us with a landscape painting
experience with his distinct flair.
