Paradise – Grand Lisboa Palace
This artwork features a bustling garden full of whimsical figures and creatures that create a fantastical landscape, featuring architecture visually referencing the Grand Trianon, an iconic piece of architecture emblematic of the rise of Chinoiserie in the European courts. The use of metal engraving as a medium is a thematic nod to Macau's role as a trading port for silver.
