The Star's Life Inspired magazine is now brighter, better, and more energised with an all-new look.

From horology to fine dining, we bring you the latest on luxury and lifestyle after the second Sunday of the month.

Our February issue, which is published on Feb 8, is all about Chinese New Year (CNY). In our cover story, contemporary artist Jaee Tee talks about how the festival is both a cultural anchor and a creative catalyst.

Tee’s latest works draw from Chinese zodiac mythology and landscape-inspired abstraction, translating ancestral memory into fluid, contemporary expression. Through instinctive brushstrokes and layered textures, Tee explores impermanence, movement and the passage of time, echoing the restless energy of the Year of the Horse.

In the story, Tee also touches on her first overseas residency stint in Germany next month. Before her departure, she intends to fully embrace the CNY celebration in Kuala Lumpur, including cherished family traditions.
