Sijun was born with Down Syndrome and congenital heart conditions. When he was a year old, his dad passed away due to cancer. Since then, Sijun’s health deteriorated and he had to undergo surgery. As a toddler, he enjoyed drawing and expressing his emotions on paper. Being able to paint using multiple colours gives him the freedom to express the joyful and diverse perspectives he has on the world. Over the years, he has produced numerous art pieces and has even presented some of them to special guests at various events including Mr and Mrs Lee Hsien Loong.
