ONCE an art hobbyist – for a lack of a better word – from 1981 to 1989, Lim Siang Jin’s passion for art merely simmered, before he eventually put it on ice due to work and family commitments.
Thirty years later, as the world descended into uncertainty due to the sweeping pandemic, Lim would find himself thrust back into that old, familiar world.
“I tried to get back into it, but the inertia after 30 years is great. (Due to) Covid and the pandemic, I realised there was still time left to do something about my art,” he told theSun.
The difference in 2020 as opposed to the 1980s was, this time around, Lim would take his art and the pursuit of refining the craft much more seriously.
