Vivid and energetic, this painting celebrates the rambutan—an unmistakable symbol of the tropics. Lim Kim Hai renders the spiky fruits with expressive yet controlled brushwork, balancing intensity of colour with thoughtful shadow and space.
Soft, restrained, and meditative, this painting highlights Lim Kim Hai’s sensitivity to light and form. The peaches are rendered with gentle tonal transitions, allowing their rounded forms to feel natural and tactile. The simple plate and striped backdrop frame the subject without distraction.
This still life captures a moment of calm balance and generosity. The translucent grapes glow softly under controlled light, while the oranges anchor the composition with warmth and weight.
