'I have always found myself drawn to something with a more dated feel so my paintings often up looking like they are trapped in a timeless world,' says Siund Tan. Photo: The Star/Raja Faisal Hishan

When someone says that his paintings are inspired by memories and stories he grew up with, you wonder - what kind of stories?

But for Siund Tan, it isn’t what the story is that matters as much as what emotions they evoke. After all, memories merge or fade at will, taking on subtle changes as time goes by.
