About the artwork

Opened in 2010, the integrated resort Marina Bay Sands (MBS) represents the culmination of the urbanisation and development of Singapore as a global city. Today, the iconic structure of MBS is a popular tourist spot for visitors, consisting of a mall, museum, theatres and a casino. Designed by Moshe Sadie, the building was inspired by decks of cards. This painting reflects the reconciliation of past and present – the two merge seamlessly and portray how Singapore has grown from a small fishing village into first-world country.
