2) Foo Kwee Horng
If you appreciate artworks that evoke feelings of daily life, with an emphasis on how it is for your everyday Singaporean or Cambodian, then you'll love Foo Kwee Horng's watercolour paintings. Capturing people as they go about their daily jobs and life itself, and putting that on a canvas in a splash of watercolours is his talent, and one that's worth admiring.

3) Simon Ng
Simon Ng is identified as a contemporary artist and figurative painter, but he actually got his start as a graphic designer. At the age of 32, he had a change of heart and began to pursue painting. Since then, he's accomplished a great deal. His art is focused and even minimalist, at times, but the subject matter – be it an animal or human, is always stark and bold.

4) Seah Kam Chuan
Illustrations and watercolour paintings feature in Seah Kam Chuan's portfolio, and he believes it is his training in graphic design that has helped him as an artist. His subjects vary, from landscapes, still life, figures and nature. He is also an art teacher, so if you have always liked to paint you could consider learning from an award-winning artist, and hone some artistic skills of your own.

5) Tia Kee Woon
Though Tia Kee Woon was also passionate about watercolour artworks like many other artists on this list, he eventually found a process that is less time-consuming, by using acrylic paints instead. You'll see many familiar Singaporean sights in his paintings, all enhanced with the beauty of colour and his keen artistic eye, from national landmarks to a wet market or even a fire station.

6) Lee Rui Xiang
His work is abstract and aesthetically pleasing, as he challenges viewers to think about themes that are relevant to all humans, that of obsession with wealth and power, and various other aspects of humanity. Using lines and crosshatch, there is a certain complexity in his work, meticulous and marvellous all at once. His work has been exhibited not only in Singapore, but Hong Kong, Japan and even Macau.
