[ORIGINAL ART] MAN SIU FAI - Victoria Harbour: Golden Ripples, A Symphony of Light

[ORIGINAL ARTWORK] Title: Victoria Harbour: Golden Ripples, A Symphony of Light 《維多利亞港：金波泛彩，光的交響曲》 Artist: MAN SIU FAI 文少輝 Medium: Watercolour Size: 59.4 x 42 cm (A2) Year: 2025 Certificate of Authenticity with Artists' Signature is included This piece is available at our Tai Kwun Store ---- About the Work: This artwork offers a vibrant reinterpretation of Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour through a palette of warm, energetic hues. Utilizing splatter and diffusion techniques, I have captured the dynamic beauty of sunlight dancing upon the waves at dusk. The silhouette of Central’s skyscrapers emerges through a play of light and shadow, harmonizing with the iconic Star Ferries and other passing vessels to create a visual symphony of the city and the sea. 此畫作以充滿生命力的暖色調，重新詮釋了香港維多利亞港的經典景致。我運用了潑灑與擴散的水彩技法，營造出夕陽餘暉下波光粼粼的動態美感。畫面中，標誌性的中環摩天大樓在光影中虛實交錯，與前方穿梭的天星小輪與其他船隻交織成一首關於城市與海洋的光之交響曲。 ----- About the Artist: Man Siu Fai is a painter who lives and works in Hong Kong.

Artist's statement “My distinctive personal style exudes a sense of peace and an intense sense of local life, expressing the vibrant spirit and atmosphere of Hong Kong's traditional culture and landscape. Capturing the light is everything! It is always the light that I remember most about any location. It is my inspiration. I use watercolor and brush on paper, to capture movement and life — making the brush dance and the watercolor sing. Everything is captured in the spontaneous dance and movement of the brush as it meets the paper. “ Awards & Exhibitions 2024：Japan international watercolor institute’s 24rd International watercolor exhibition（Japan） 2024：Art Revolution Taipei’s International Art Competition（Taiwan） 2023：Japan international watercolor institute’s 23rd International watercolor exhibition（Japan） 2023： The 28th Da Dun Fine Arts Exhibition of Taichung City（Taiwan） 2023：IFAM Global’s International Online Juried Art Competitions （Malaysia） 2023：Art Revolution Taipei’s International Art Competition（Taiwan） 2023：The International Watercolour Masters Contest（英國） 2022：155th Annual International Exhibition of the American Watercolor Society（USA） 2022：IFAM Global’s International Online Juried Art Competitions （Malaysia） 2022：Man Siu Fai’s Solo Exhibition（Hong Kong） 2021：IFAM Global’s International Online Juried Art Competitions （Malaysia） 2019：The International Watercolor Contest 2019 of Galleria Esdé（Italy）
