Chua Mia Tee

Chua Mia Tee is one of Singapore’s foremost realist painters, with many of his works being highly sought after by businessmen and politicians. He was born in China in 1931 and moved to Singapore in 1937, before moving on to study art at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1950 under the guidance of several pioneer artists such as Lim Hak Tai, Cheong Soo Pieng, Koh Tong Leong and See Hiang To. Chua Mia Tee’s body of work includes colourful koi, majestic animals as well as panoramic views and sprawling landscapes of countries he has visited in his known vivid, realist style. His landscape repertoire alone ranges from spectacular mountains, rivers and forests to nostalgic scenes of urban life in Singapore, featuring people and street markets, along with the iconic Singapore River and early Chinatown establishments.
Not only so, he is also well known for his portraiture works, having completed multiple commissioned works of several dignitaries and Presidents of Singapore. His paintings portray the liveliness of its subjects, from the most subtle of gestures to the hints of mood they had. Some of his most acclaimed works include “National Language Class” (1959) and “Workers in the Canteen” (1974).
He has participated in several art exhibitions locally, as well as internationally in Australia, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand and several countries in Southeast Asia. He was formerly Chairman of the Editorial Board of Nanyang Arts magazine and is now Life Member of the Singapore Arts Society and the NAFA Alumni Association. Chua is the 2015 recipient of the Cultural Medallion, Singapore’s highest national honour for contributions to art and culture.
