Artwork Description:

On one of the weekends when I was in London I made an effort to go to Amsterdam. I took a bus on a Friday evening to travel to Holland (the Netherlands), the country which conquered Melaka, my beloved place of birth. Melaka then was ruled by the Portuguese but in 1641 the Dutch won over the land from the Portuguese and ruled it for more than a century. The bus embarked a ferry at the Port of Dover to cross the English Channel through the night. I still remember it was a chilly starless night and the sea was rough. Early in the next morning the bus made its way to Amsterdam from the ferry terminal at Dunkerque Port, France. On reaching Amsterdam I walked from the bus terminal near the Centraal Railway Station to a coffee shop to have my breakfast. After a short rest I made a trip by boat to cruise along the canals lasting one hour. Later in the day I took some times wandering about De Wallen. Situated in the heart of the oldest area of Amsterdam it is the largest neighborhood and a major tourist attraction. Amsterdam the capital of Holland, one of the most fascinating and charming cities in the world has a lot to offer: beautiful 17th architecture, cozy pubs, friendly people and wonderful vibrant parks. Waterways, shaded by leafy green, reflected five centuries of architectural glory gave me the chance to glimpse between buildings that have inspired generations of artists. To remember my presence in Amsterdam in 1986 I painted Amsterdam based on the reflections of my short stay in the beautiful city where its famous son Vincent van Gogh lived.
