Calligraphy DIN TAI FUNG BAO BAO (2025) [Chinese ink painting and calligraphy on Chinese red paper 68.5 x 68.5cm] [This painting won the Din Tai Fung art competition in conjunction with Lunar New Year and the celebration of its new opening at Canary Wharf, London] I am thrilled to showcase a display of traditional Chinese ink painting and calligraphy on festive red paper, commonly celebrated during Chinese New Year. This artwork features Din Tai Fung's Bao Bao playing the flute for a dancing snake as it emerges from a bamboo steamer. Accompanying the drawing is an original couplet (a traditional festive two-verse poetry) composed by my, which translates as follows: "Soaring dragon spreads fragrant dumplings, Din Tai Fung's delight, Dancing snake gathering treasure, business thrives with might" Notably, the poem cleverly integrates Bao Bao's name, "Dumpling-Treasure", as the third word in each verse. Additionally, I have also ensured that the beginning of each verse reflects the animals of successive years in the Chinese zodiac, starting with the dragon and followed by the snake. Lastly, it highlights Din Tai Fung and its signature fragrant dumplings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/f26db9e6-9ab2-4f8f-a25f-81042e4448f1/YAP%2C+Pau+Ling_Strings+of+Light%2C+Shadows+of+Sound.jpg Portfolio - Calligraphy STRINGS OF LIGHT, SHADOWS OF SOUND (2025) [Chinese calligraphy on rice paper mounted on silk scroll 146 x 86cm] ‘Strings of Light, Shadows of Sound’ invites you into a lyrical sanctuary where music and visual art entwine like soulmates. Through her original poem, the artist offers a heartfelt ode to a lifelong devotion – an intimate harmony between melody and imagery. Cleverly woven into the verses are the meanings of her name: ‘Pau’ (“Precious”) and ‘Ling (“Exquisite”): "My treasured piano plays my dreams; ink-like notes inscribe the whispers of my heart. My exquisite zither weaves my emotions; the shadows of its strings dance like colours across my canvas." The two verses mirror each other in structure and sentiment – each line pairs nouns, verbs, adjectives in parallel, reflecting the artist’s dual devotion to music and art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/cff8fe9a-b44b-4136-9533-d680bbaa3b89/IMG_7338.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/1707773846564-3AMK8LG1BSWP9MWWZOLM/IMG_7300.jpg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/2f325314-1438-4a62-9f33-730f8742fcf9/IMG_7313.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/f19ce98f-7750-4217-b8e5-170fd11be47f/IMG_7301.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/226a81d4-ed17-476e-94ba-3500b12acb04/IMG_7316.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/708d240e-04ad-44b5-8dad-4fb814b91137/IMG_7304.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/4eb1d8c2-81cc-463f-a518-347e5b635283/IMG_7333.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/2fd663bc-0a8d-41d5-bb06-063ff9920601/IMG_7343.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/96a5d72e-e1cd-4dda-963e-d1e4988599cb/IMG_7322+%281%29.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/1707774115529-6QMCN6YGOZBHO6NN1IDQ/IMG_7320.jpg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/139ffee3-52da-42d8-ba3e-79e85b801def/IMG_7335.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/509eb886-88fe-43ee-9894-ff3329963a43/IMG_7369+%281%29.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/b2de2da7-6213-43f0-9254-064e3263e2a8/IMG_7331.jpeg Portfolio - Calligraphy https://www.pauling.london/portfolio/plein-air monthly 0.5 2025-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/ffe1eb9c-8cec-4547-86a5-34c329d52d25/2025070910_Ponte+Vecchio+from+Ponte+Alle+Grazie.jpg Portfolio - Plein Air PONTE VECCHIO FROM PONTE ALLE GRAZIE (2025) [Oil on board 20 x 40cm] This six-hour plein air is part of the Florence series completed in July 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/3ce865d1-512e-4448-96ce-4761b492a674/2025070708_Piazza+della+Santissima+Annunziata.jpg Portfolio - Plein Air PIAZZA DELLA SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA [Oil on board 35 x 25cm] This six-hour plein air is part of the Florence series completed in July 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/841c989d-e762-4c6e-ba87-d44544497e7c/20250711_Piazza+Santo+Spirito.jpg Portfolio - Plein Air PIAZZA SANTO SPIRITO [Oil on board 20 x 30cm] This three-hour plein air is part of the Florence series completed in July 2025. https://www.pauling.london/portfolio/still-life monthly 0.5 2022-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/7a2c5348-33bd-49a2-8616-9fb2f3cf60dc/YAP%2C+Pau+Ling_78%25+Chance+of+Rain.jpg Portfolio - Still Life 78% CHANCE OF RAIN (2023) [Oil on canvas 61cm x 61cm] This painting captures the moments before the heavens open, when the wind picks up and threatens to snap the last remnants of the summer blooms.

It will be hung in Aspen's London office from 2024. George Town in Penang, Malaysia, was established as an entrepôt by Francis Light, a British Royal Navy Captain in 1786. It was the first British settlement in Southeast Asia. In 2008, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although it is now a popular tourist destination, urban life in George Town is unfazed by the throngs of visitors. At the quintessentially rustic grocery shop Kedai Runcit Chop Hoe Aik on Lebuh Presgrave, the elderly sole proprietor is comfortably ensconced amongst his goods: a mountain of rice noodles, cooking oil, Ajinomoto, Guinness beer, mineral water, eggs, hell money, incense sticks, cigarettes, mouse traps etc. all stacked in an organised mess. The only hints of modernity are the Covid face masks, hand sanitising gel and the Bas Persiaran (tourist bus) whizzing by outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/8d60e88e-010a-4c19-bfe5-cb24d204774c/YAP%2C+Pau+Ling_Kedai+Runcit+Chop+Hoe+Aik%2C+16+Lebuh+Presgrave+%28George+Town%2C+Penang%29_Detail+2.jpg Portfolio - Still Life detail of KEDAI RUNCIT CHOP HOE AIK, 16 LEBUH PRESGRAVE (GEORGE TOWN, PENANG) (2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/0a06359a-199e-4c8e-9c0f-d08f0d3eec57/YAP%2C+Pau+Ling_Kedai+Runcit+Chop+Hoe+Aik%2C+16+Lebuh+Presgrave+%28George+Town%2C+Penang%29_Detail+3.jpg Portfolio - Still Life detail of KEDAI RUNCIT CHOP HOE AIK, 16 LEBUH PRESGRAVE (GEORGE TOWN, PENANG) (2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/032602ba-7908-4c33-a118-e9edce53d9eb/YAP_Sabotage_01.jpg Portfolio - Still Life SABOTAGE (2022) [Oil on canvas 34cm x 92cm] This painting speaks of the beauty that was unfolding in the artist’s life, only for it to be curtailed prematurely. The artist could visualise the promising picture that was emerging with each successive layer. Yet the canvas has been savagely torn before the pigments have had a chance to leave their marks. Will there be a next chapter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/9789295e-9144-4e2b-a76a-c816ee0b0a12/YAP_Sabotage_04.jpg Portfolio - Still Life detail of SABOTAGE (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/a3224dfa-0c1b-46a0-8c7f-d6993c72f93b/YAP_Sabotage_03.jpg Portfolio - Still Life detail of SABOTAGE (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/8b286cdd-2d39-4b78-81b4-896f32adadf9/YAP_Entropy_01.jpg Portfolio - Still Life ENTROPY (2022) [Oil on canvas 76cm x 76cm] This image encapsulates the artist’s sense of acute loneliness whilst grappling with the abrupt end to a relationship. She finds solace in a childhood friend who is an anchor in a sea of turbulent emotions. The artist ruminates the events leading to the interweaving of two contrapuntal yet complementary personalities who gravitated towards each other. The ghosts of beautiful memories haunt the artist. Tiny gems of the moments they shared are as vivid as if they happened yesterday. Regrettably, the melodious partnership ended - the intelligible colours, shapes and forms soon disintegrate into a cacophony of chaos. Against this backdrop of disequilibrium, she is slowly rebuilding the structure in her life in an attempt to restore a sense of order. In this painting, the artist experiments with symbolism. Her deliberate choice of colour and flower represents the heritages of both persons; whilst the juxtaposition between order and fluidity represents the contrasting personalities of the couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/5c2c682b-8c76-455d-83b0-e400ce6ccfa5/YAP_Entropy_07.jpg Portfolio - Still Life detail of ENTROPY (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/1fd9010c-7fad-4b2f-92ab-c180cd805acb/Orchids.jpg Portfolio - Still Life ORCHIDS (2022) [Oil on canvas 31cm x 41cm] This painting was acquired by a private collector in Somerset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/95b8db66-78c9-449b-b921-c23a8bf0ab98/99.jpg Portfolio - Still Life NINETY-NINE (2022) [Oil on canvas 60cm x 50cm] This is a tribute to my grandmother who passed away at the end of 2021.

It symbolises my grandmother, my mother and me.

On 6 May 2023 05:05, the artist braved the cold and wet weather and joined thousands along The Mall to witness the coronation of King Charles III. This was a scene laden with juxtaposition. In the hours before lunch, the crowd watched the very traditional coronation ceremony in Westminster Abbey live-streamed on smartphones. This was interspersed with the occasional squadron of cavalry in impressive uniforms. There was real sense of togetherness as strangers shared umbrellas and portable power banks to charge up fainting devices. Finally, after 8 hours and 26 minutes' of eager anticipation, the crowd and their smart phones caught a glimpse of the new king in the 261 year-old Gold State Carriage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/780a1b28-8db3-47a9-8d82-0cf54f088e35/DSC_3404.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of GLIMPSE (2024) [Oil on canvas 50 x 101cm] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/4f250ab5-20b4-421f-b1d6-8c78067c5d37/DSC_3394.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of GLIMPSE (2024) [Oil on canvas 50 x 101cm] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/a2db70c6-4faa-4a79-904f-762a34871dfe/DSC_3397.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of GLIMPSE (2024) [Oil on canvas 50 x 101cm] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/5ebf6fe4-c021-4345-b850-b63613d3a839/DSC_3402.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of GLIMPSE (2024) [Oil on canvas 50 x 101cm] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/d1d3a2f2-41eb-4f09-98ce-14f48adcc564/YAP%2C+Pau+Ling_Kedai+Runcit+Chop+Hoe+Aik%2C+16+Lebuh+Presgrave+%28George+Town%2C+Penang%29.jpg Portfolio - Portraits KEDAI RUNCIT CHOP HOE AIK, 16 LEBUH PRESGRAVE (GEORGE TOWN, PENANG) (2023) [Oil on canvas 60cm x 50cm] This painting was acquired by the custodians of global art assets at Aspen Insurance Group.

The Pandemic Portraits were conceived as a charitable project by the artist whilst working at the Bank of England. The aim of the project was to raise empathy levels at the Bank by painting the struggles faced by a diverse range of colleagues during lockdown. Sam sat for his portrait before his wedding, when he had just gone through huge disruptions to his life: wedding postponement, news of terminal cancer suffered by his soon-to-be mother-in-law, and support for family with mental health concerns. I painted a pensive Sam, sitting and gazing into the distance, wondering what the future holds. The backdrop of the portrait is designed to be dark, gloomy and intense, to reflect the intensity of his struggles. A looming portrait of Sam sits behind the portrait – he was still haunted by recent events. The background has echoes of the lake where he scattered the ashes of his father-in-law during lockdown. I incorporated excerpts of Sam’s personal reflection in the painting. There were also scratch marks across wet paint on the canvas to express the gruelling period of his life. The calligraph at the background is designed to be difficult to read; the looming portrait a little vague; and the lake was painted to be suggestive. Together these elements are designed to force the viewer to squint and struggle to understand what is on the canvas. This is to mirror the emotions of Sam at that period, also struggling to makes sense of events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/de4daca0-45dd-413b-b828-e8a8df94c024/DSC_3291.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of SAM JUTHANI (2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/cbbc34cc-07b8-4dbb-a471-66a1c2e2da2e/DSC_3296.jpg Portfolio - Portraits LAURA TAYLOR (2023) [Oil on canvas 61cm diameter] Part of the ‘Pandemic Portrait’ series that will be in the Bank of England’s permanent collection. The Pandemic Portraits were conceived as a charitable project by the artist whilst working at the Bank of England. The aim of the project was to raise empathy levels at the Bank by painting the struggles faced by a diverse range of colleagues during lockdown. When Laura put herself forward in the call for sitters, I was immediately struck by her story. She had been working at the Bank of England for a number of years but none of her teammates knew about her hearing difficulties. She wore a hearing aid, which she hid behind her long hair. When full remote working arrangement began in lockdown, colleagues enthused about its convenience. However, most were oblivious that colleagues like Laura relied on lip reading. She struggled to follow meetings as colleagues had their cameras switched off in online meetings. Eventually, she had to reveal her personal struggles and request that colleagues switched on their cameras to allow her to lip read. It was unfortunate that something private had to be revealed dye to circumstances, as opposed to choice. The focal point of the composition is the frontal view of Laura’s face. From this view, there is no indication that she has hearing difficulties. Ironically, the focal point is actually her reflection in the mirror. This is the first thing a viewer sees, and it echoes reality whereby people who first encounter her would not know about her hearing difficulties. Using darker values and softer edges with my paint, I depicted the real Laura on the left of the composition. Although this is the secondary subject in the portrait, it is her actual self. Often, the truth is hidden and only revealed when one spends time to understand. This is the view where one could see her hearing aid. The sequence of viewing this painting mirrors the sequence in which we discover Laura and her hearing challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/dd815177-46f7-4107-9583-63ac788d8058/DSC_3301.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of LAURA TAYLOR (2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/3ff331c2-2236-44da-9e3e-d2d59b80c70a/IMG_4281.jpeg Portfolio - Portraits MONTY AND HERMIONE (2023) [Pen and watercolour on paper 35.6cm x 45.7cm] This portrait of pet rabbits was commissioned as a birthday present by a private collector in Kent, England. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/d201b09b-2744-4fd2-9188-7447186b207f/IMG_4272.jpeg Portfolio - Portraits detail of MONTY AND HERMIONE (2023) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/e2165984-8165-4e76-901b-56c7495c2b92/IMG_0952.jpeg Portfolio - Portraits HERMIONE (2023) [Pen and watercolour on paper 27.5cm x 21cm] This birthday card was commissioned by a private collector in Kent, England. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/98dbeb1b-a40c-4f13-9dd2-f0e5e8e0a8d8/YAP_Entropy_01.jpg Portfolio - Portraits ENTROPY (2022) [Oil on canvas 76cm x 76cm] This image encapsulates the artist’s sense of acute loneliness whilst grappling with the abrupt end to a relationship. She finds solace in a childhood friend who is an anchor in a sea of turbulent emotions. The artist ruminates the events leading to the interweaving of two contrapuntal yet complementary personalities who gravitated towards each other. The ghosts of beautiful memories haunt the artist. Tiny gems of the moments they shared are as vivid as if they happened yesterday. Regrettably, the melodious partnership ended - the intelligible colours, shapes and forms soon disintegrate into a cacophony of chaos. Against this backdrop of disequilibrium, she is slowly rebuilding the structure in her life in an attempt to restore a sense of order. In this painting, the artist experiments with symbolism. Her deliberate choice of colour and flower represents the heritages of both persons; whilst the juxtaposition between order and fluidity represents the contrasting personalities of the couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/1040ee61-16ff-40ad-90db-dbef2da0dc3c/YAP_Entropy_10.jpg Portfolio - Portraits detail of ENTROPY (2022) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/162fd080-6cd4-4765-a6b4-9fb8461891cf/YAP_Disembodiment_01.jpg Portfolio - Portraits DISEMBODIMENT (2022) [Mixed media 75cm x 62cm] This drawing captures the internal turmoil suffered by the artist following an abrupt end to a relationship. An intense period of self-reflection and incessant dissection of events ensued. Past anguish resurfaced and were re-examined and rescrutinised in a futile attempt to understand and to rediscover her sense of self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/5f8fffe8-9add-40a1-9750-d49e7b77baf5/DSC_3336.jpg Portfolio - Portraits ME, ME, ME (2021) [Oil on canvas 61cm diameter] This is a biographical record of this phase of my life. It is a celebration of all the things I love: piano, plants, art, quirky glasses and wearing shorts in summer. The patch on my knee is a reminder of hours of tennis and a fall from my bicycle three days before I did this painting. I chose to use a fisheye lens to help me capture everything in frame. But it also is a consequence of living on my own – my best friend Pangkie can only provide loyal companionship and no help with the camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/2a0144f7-a8b8-498c-85b2-112ddb089495/Thor.jpg Portfolio - Portraits THOR (2020) [Oil on canvas 61cm diameter] Thor’s glare, whilst intense, reminds me of the good times I spent in my brother’s flat in London before he left the country for good. I was never sure if Thor ever welcomed me as his eyes always seemed to say “I am the King of this flat”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/780f19a4-d8a9-4c3f-8089-ff855856e415/Ratidzo+Starkey.jpg Portfolio - Portraits RATIDZO (2020) [Oil on canvas 80cm x 60cm] Part of the ‘Pandemic Portrait’ series that will be in the Bank of England’s permanent collection.

As a junior person at the office, she felt unable to report the wrongdoings of her seniors in fear of retaliation. The power imbalance was immense, and she was silenced. Her only avenue of expression was to paint. She felt naked and vulnerable to the attacks and psychological bullying. She was surrounded by stone cold people who were buried in their self-interest. They had no qualms in invading her space, trampling her peace and fabricating lies, in their selfish quest for promotion. They portray an image of polished, respectable self-assurance, yet their true colours peek out occasionally, as symbolised by the red socks. The artist was going through the motions of going to work. The tube was moving forward, yet there is no floor – there was no sense of stability. She was sidelined and bruised, yet, in her weakness, a tiny sliver of defiance remained. Quietly, she mustered just enough strength to stick two fingers up to her aggressors. https://www.pauling.london/still-depth-series daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://www.pauling.london/still-depth-series/bromeliaceae monthly 0.5 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8b75a953f80dd13b9d83/42ebd39b-6d99-4af7-adca-eb36e519742f/DSC_4953.jpg Still Depth Series -
