Three cats. One corner of Singapore. An afternoon that belongs entirely to them.
A limited edition fine art giclée print from the Cat Stories series — Sheena Bharathan's beloved collection of feline-inspired works. Printed on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm. Museum quality.
Full Product Description:
On a quiet stretch of Singapore shophouse street — striped awnings, ochre walls, that particular warm afternoon light — three cats have claimed their spot. Unhurried, unbothered, entirely at home. This is Cat Stories: Shophouse Days, and it is one of the most Singapore works in Sheena Bharathan's Cat Stories collection.
Reproduced on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm — the heavyweight, velvety matte fine art paper trusted by galleries and collectors worldwide — this giclée print captures every layer of Sheena's mixed media technique. The textured surface of the paper mirrors the textured quality of the original canvas: the rough grain of the street, the weathered plaster of the shophouse wall, the loose expressive energy of cats who have nowhere better to be.
The warm terracottas of the cats and the building, the cool aqua-green of the tropical sky, the lively detail of the shophouse facade — all reproduced in archival pigment inks, rich and fade-resistant for over a century when displayed indoors.
Each print is individually numbered and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

About This Print — What Makes It Fine Art:
Not all art prints are equal. A fine art giclée on Hahnemühle German Etching is the same standard used by museums, galleries and serious collectors — and it's a world apart from a standard poster print. The difference is in the paper weight (310gsm — almost card-like in hand), the surface texture (a gentle velvety matte that catches light the way the original canvas does), and the ink (archival pigment, not dye — which means colours that hold true over years).
Certificate of Authenticity:
Each print ships with a signed certificate. This is your record of ownership and your guarantee of authenticity.
A Note on Gifting:
Cat Stories prints are among the most gifted works from the Studio Monsoon collection — particularly for cat lovers, Singapore expats, and anyone who knows what it feels like to watch a cat claim a corner of the world and make it completely their own. Both sizes arrive rolled in protective packaging, ready to frame. Standard square frames in both sizes are widely available.

About the Cat Stories Series:
The Cat Stories collection celebrates feline beauty — capturing the mystery, playfulness and serene self-assurance that make cats endlessly compelling. Rich colours, expressive brushwork and intricate mixed media detail bring each work to life. Every painting tells a story of curiosity, serenity and the enchanting spirit of a creature that lives entirely on its own terms.
About the Artist:
Sheena Bharathan is a Singapore-based contemporary artist working in oil, acrylic and mixed media on canvas. A former child psychologist, her practice is rooted in the psychology of the interior — the quiet, unspoken emotional landscapes that define the human experience. Her work has been exhibited internationally at the Florence Biennale 2023 and recognised with the Japan International Art Award.
