Consolation Prize at Citra Terengganu 2018


My painting won the consolation prize in the live painting category at #CITRATERENGGANU2018 hosted by @muziumterengganu 

 Its quite awesome to see my painting hanging in the museums gallery. Not sure how long it will be on display but all the winners art is there. Feeling grateful to be one of the winners in a competition full of amazing artist. Will share some of the winners pictures when I'm back. 


Thank you to the museum for playing such wonderful gracious hosts and helping wherever possible. And for the state to be supportive to the art community. The museum is the only one that hosts art competitions. Thanks for encouraging artists across Malaysia through the competition. 

 Thank you to the judges as well. More than 140 people took part in both categories, the highest number in the history of the competition. 


The painting now becomes part of the museums collection and to be honest was a bit hard to say goodbye to it. 

 I had a wonderful two days talking to the museum team and visitors who stopped by curious of my art. Thank you to all.

 This is part of my reimagined human series which is an attempt to simplify the human figure and break down race and colour barriers by painting them in various shades of colours. She is wearing the
terengganu songket baju kurung teruk belanga. The background is the patterns from the famous terengganu wood carvings.

Anak Merdeka Exhibition 2018


My art - Our Malaysia  -  was exhibited at Festival Anak Merdeka which was organised by Art Market Malaysia (AMM) @artmarketmalaysia at Damen mall in Subang Jaya.

The opening ceremony was officiated by the Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister YB Tuan Muhammad Bakhtiar bin Wan Chik. 

After the ceremony he graciously took his time to talk to the vendors and artists. I managed to explain the concept behind my reimagined human series and he immediately saw the message of Unity in my art. Thank you for your time sir.

Title: Our Malaysia

This is an art I’ve painted to symbolise Malaysians under my reimagined human series. My reimagined series is an attempt to simply the human figure and break down race and colour barriers by painting them in various shares of colours.

The only thing’s that identify their race would be their clothing but anyone can wear a Saree, Cheongsam or the Kebaya batik, and that is what is beautiful about Malaysia. So I leave the choice of deciding who is who as your choice. They can be anyone you want them to be.

The colours except the green of their skin, are from the Malaysian flag – Merah, putih, kuning, biru warnanya.
