About Me

My photo
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I have been creating art throughout my life but it was not until the beginning of 2010, having ample time in my hands that i started creating art on a full-time basis. I am a self taught artist, having no formal education in art, painting solely driven by interest, love for art and passion. Occasionally, dream and emotion inspired. As an emotional painter, expressing myself in my artwork is as important as it is for me to breath. Expressing myself through art enables me to reach deep down into my true essential self and share that state of interconnectedness and "entanglement". When an idea becomes compulsion, I express it. I believe that Art is an essential requirement of living. I am from Sarawak, a Malaysian born and raised in Brunei Darussalam and lived in Miri, Sarawak for most of my adult life. I am currently residing in Kuala Lumpur. I have two beautiful children.

Tranquility

Posted by Picasa
SOLD

Tranquility

Reclined, the body...
while the mind moves briskly in solemn meditative visions
Tranquility, the moving factor...
as the world around, becomes obsolete for awhile
The sights are inward, and the sounds too...
seeing repose- hearing music of love
The calmness that is fenced in, fuels a soul in temporary salvation...
free from all ills and external forces;
resting peacefully... aloof of all conflicts
A tranquil gateway to a place of absolute peace...
where all inhabitants are related and share a common purpose;
love, joy, smiles, hugs, kisses and eternity forever
Prayerful and free to the end of time...

SOLITUDE

Solitude
acrylic on canvas
20x30 inches
Posted by PicasaSolitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man. All men come into this world alone and leave it alone.


Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your own presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement Quote by Alice Koller

attitude - gratitude

‎"Half of the pleasure of painting and feeling the joy of the creative act is sharing it with others and the feeling of connection. It could just be the colour. But it is something that someone other than you has seen and felt. It is momentous. It is magic". ~ (Sara Genn)


What is the value of art? Honestly, I really don’t think that art has an enduring value. A piece of art is divine to one man and ridiculous to the next. All art has local and temporal value—though some are fortunate to outlive others. But pieces that evoke wonder and appreciation and awe are definitely of utmost emotional value to anyone with an open mind or heart. For me, the pleasure of painting is sharing it with others, after all the essence of all beautiful art is gratitude. thank you all for your wonderful support.


"For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends". ~ (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Cat: (my cat) Isabeau ~ the meaning of the name Isabeau is 'God's Promise'


When God Made Cats


When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the bear He gave strength, to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness; to the owl, the ability to see at night, to the birds and the butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. And all these were things the animals begged of God. At last he came to the end of the line, and there sat the little cat, waiting patiently. "What will YOU have?" God asked the cat.


The cat shrugged modestly. "Oh, whatever scraps you have left over. I don't mind."


"But I'm God. I have everything left over."


"Then I'll have a little of everything, please."


And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal, and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace and elegance and, only for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm and comfortable home.


But he took away her false modesty.

my childhood garden, lush and green, it was so happy it made me scream, my joy and hopes
and all my mopes, my childhood garden

my childhood garden, with the ups and downs, when i jumped i could not touch the ground, with my purle ponies it made it homey, my childhood garden

my childhood garden, flying high with the little lies, the grass fine, up in the sky my kite,
my childhood garden

my childhood garden , now in the past, i now know that it can never last, now as i get taller
it was differnt when i was smaller, my childhood garden

"I am the owner of my karma .


I inherit my karma.

I am born of my karma.

I am related to my karma.

I live supported by my karma.

Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit."

The Buddha, Anguttara Nikaya V.57 - Upajjhatthana Sutta

Watch your words, for they become actions.

Watch your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

The human imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy. It dreams, like a dog in its basket, of hares in the open.

Tree O Life


SOLD
Tree of Life Symbolism


The Tree of Life symbol meaning represents different qualities/virtues like wisdom, strength, protection, beauty, bounty and redemption. It is also considered to be the symbol of 'Creator'. The tree is associated with the creator because it provides protection, supports abundant fruit production and thereby, regeneration. This analogy can also be used to describe the life of humans. We as humans develop 'roots' of our beliefs, 'branch out' by means of wisdom and the 'trunk' (mind & body) keeps them connected.

The Tree of Life meaning as perceived in different faiths, belief systems and cultures, resonates with a simple and strong message of unity. The Tree of Life symbol indicates that all forms of life are connected through a cosmic energy and that we as humans should live in harmony with rest of the living beings.

Eve of Eden

SOLD

According to the Bible, Eve was the first woman--the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth. God created her from the rib of Adam to be his wife. She and Adam lived in the Garden of Eden until they were expelled for eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge (Genesis 2-4).




ADAM AND EVE DISOBEY GOD




Eve was intrigued by this temptation: the fruit would make her wise, she thought. So she took one piece from the Tree of Knowledge, ate it and offered some to Adam. He ate it too.


Suddenly everything changed. They felt shame, becoming aware of their nakedness for the first time. They hid from the presence of God. But God called to them: "Where are you?" They knew the were caught.


Their reaction was very human. Instantly, they began to blame each other. Adam blamed Eve for offering him the fruit. Eve blamed the serpent for tempting her. But the deed had been done, and they now faced the consequences, which were terrible - God sent them from the Garden, and an angel with a flaming sword barred the entrance so Adam could never return.
