One might live and experience the bustle of a city while longing to be immersed in a natural environment. In this work, the city can still be seen from a distance due to its high rise buildings. We could never deny the fact that sometimes escaping the city is a pure bliss that everyone needs. Yap Kim Boon, better known as the Heliconia Man, is adept at the vast landscapes and architectural heritage, with his thick impastos with his palette knife. Of main concern to him is the sense of movement with an almost 3D textures, and the light. In recent years, he has also tackled the bougainvillea, the paper flowers. He has been a fulltime artist for some 20 years now.
