Wedding series: Pengantin
This is a series on Malaysian couples in their wedding attire. The painting of the Malay couple, features certain aspects of the Malay wedding culture. It’s been painted under my reimagined human series.
They usually wear the same colours and materials. In this case both are wearing the Malay silk songket embroidery. Songket embroidery usually features geometric patterns.
The guy is wearing a baju silang, a type of baju melayu only seen during weddings nowadays. She is wearing a kebaya songket.
She is also wearing the kerongsang jewellery often worn with the kebaya. The guy is wearing the wedding chain as well. The pattern of the jewellery was the most common worn by the men.
Another thing I've captured is the kiss to the forehead embrace that is often the first public show of intimacy by married Malay couples.
