29. Mar-a-Lago: Icon of Power & Paradise (31.5″ x 39.4″)
This artwork depicts Mar-a-Lago, where boats and figures on blue waters symbolize the harmony between humanity and nature. Midground palm trees and red-roofed buildings evoke tropical allure, while a towering American flag embodies national power. A rainbow arches across the sky, infusing the scene with hope and paradise. Acquired by Donald Trump in 1985, Mar-a-Lago served as his private residence and the “Winter White House” during his presidency, standing as a powerful diplomatic and political landmark. Through vivid colors and bold brushstrokes, Dr. T.F. Chen juxtaposes natural scenery with political emblems to explore the dual themes of power and paradise. The painting serves as a cultural allegory, reflecting the intertwining of civilization, faith, and idealism.
