his vibrant 2025 acrylic painting on canvas, titled "Cafetera azul" (Blue Coffee Maker), is a quintessential example of Flora Fong’s ability to blend her Chinese-Cantonese heritage with the tropical energy of her native Cuba. The composition features a stylized, towering coffee maker—a staple of Cuban domestic life—surmounted by a small sailboat, merging themes of daily ritual with the island's maritime identity. Fong utilizes a bold, high-contrast palette of sun-drenched yellows, deep blues, and lush greens, accented by her signature calligraphic brushwork. The work is signed by the artist in the lower right and dated "2025" along the left edge.
The piece comes accompanied by an original Certificado de Autenticidad (Certificate of Authenticity) signed by the artist and is housed in a modern black frame with a silver-tone inner lip.
