Painting Description

St Peter's Basilica is the architecture you won’t miss when visiting the Vatican.

This painting painted with pastel colours to create a dreamy look, Alice wanted the building to look almost too beautiful to be real.

‘If you’ve been to the Vatican, I want you to question if it was a dream? Was it somewhere you have seen on TV? Or was it truely where you’ve been to?'

The Colonnade of St Peter's Basilica is part of Alice Kwan’s Wanderlust series.

Wanderlust is inspired by places Alice has been to and places which she wants to visit one day.

It’s a combination of a bucket list and a public record of where she’s been. Painting them and hoping to evoke viewers motivation to explore the world we live in.

Although it’s been nearly a decade, the amazement never disappear living in the part of the world where Alice is living.

‘I still marvel when surrounded by European art and architecture. I especially enjoy the look of stunning masonry and stones reflected by sunshine.’

This sense of admiration and respect expressed in her art is a small tribute to thousands years of art history.
