The Marina Bay Sands casts a stunning reflection on the serene waters, enriching the Singapore skyline. As night falls, its twinkling lights illuminate the surface, enhancing the city's charm and emphasising the hotel's magnificence. This piece captures the brilliance of Marina Bay, reflecting on how the skyline symbolises our past promises for a brighter future. It encourages us to consider how these promises shape our future and how to balance progress with human nature and the environment.
The theme "Old Future" for BIEAF2024 invites us to reflect on how past promises have shaped our present. It encourages us to consider if our current progress aligns with our earlier hopes and to balance innovation with respect for human values and the environment.
Jesline Er, a Singaporean artist, discovered her passion for art in childhood, exploring painting and digital arts. As a lifelong member of renowned art societies, she actively participates in exhibitions organised by these societies and engages in both local and international art competitions. A career highlight was her oil painting showcased at the Haegeumgang Theme Museum in South Korea in 2022. Believing in the omnipresence of art, Jesline transforms nature into a canvas of positive messages. Embracing the ubiquity of art, she infuses positive messages into her creations. In August 2023, she unveiled her solo exhibition 'Nature in Art’, revealing her profound connection with the natural world. Jesline's paintings grace the collections of museums, organisations and private collectors.

Joan Josep Barceló i Bauçà (Palma de Mallorca - Spain, 1953). He studied literature and science at the Universities of Barcelona, the Balearic Islands, Madrid and London. In his career he has explored various fields of culture, including literature, thought and the arts. He is the author of numerous books of poetry in Italian, English and Catalan, having received important international awards and recognitions in his literary career. His poetry connects with visual art and performance, showing new concepts and styles of understanding literatura.
In addition to the literary world, as a plastic and visual artist, he develops his works through the use of innovative materials in plastic art, where his pictorial works and sculptures show a connection between natural and synthetic materials, with the creation of pieces framed in contemporary art. wanting to transmit the force of nature and the soul in a particular way that is characteristic of his style. In the field of art he has exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, both individually and collectively, in Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Korea, Turkey, Nigeria, etc.
The artwork is shown with the dominance of two colours, a yellow background on which a black piece stands out in collage. The contrast of both colours represents a duality between day and night, between light and darkness. The artwork is fundamentally based on maximum aesthetic simplicity and minimalism with which to express the strength of the opposite. The canvas, where acrylic dominates with yellow, extends over its entire surface on which a piece of cypress wood impregnated with black acrylic stands out to give volume and relief to the work. Day and night are two periods of time that occur in a constant cycle on Earth, the first is characterized by the presence of sunlight, while night refers to the period in the shadow and without light. The artwork thus not only represents duality but also the concept of time.
