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.

Flowers For My Love

Posted by Picasa
SOLD
size: 24x24x2 inches
"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun".
Pablo Picasso.
 As with most of my other paintings, i just go with the flow of my imagination and emotions. my brush just moves along as i go, for this piece in particular, unplanned. If you ask me what inspired me to paint this? i really don't know. Picasso quoted, "it started from a yellow spot"... the rest just follows :D

I dream of Buddha

Posted by Picasa
NOT FOR SALE (private collection)
24 x 24 inches
Having seen an image of Buddha in my dreams, i was told by a friend that i am deemed lucky to have experienced that. To be precise, this painting portrays the exact image & colors of my dream (yes, we dream in colors, unless you wish to think otherwise). I guess i do feel i am blessed not just the experience of my vivid dream but life as a whole. I thank God for all i have (or don't) and the beauty of being able to wake up each morning to see another day. i will never ask for more. maybe just a Gucci bag. 

Transcendence

SOLD
30 x 30 inches

It is commonly thought in most cultures that feathers are symbols of higher thought, spiritual progression.  The line of thought here is that birds were considered divine creatures in primitive/ancient cultures because they are creatures of the sky (heaven) and therefore closer to God.
When you find feathers upon your path it could be taken to mean that you are on a higher spiritual path (whether you accept it or not), and it may be a sign of encouragement as you philosophically travel on this path.
Finding feathers on your path is also symbolic of having a lighter outlook on life or a particulary situation.  When we see feathers in our midst it is considered a message that we need to lighten up, not take things too seriously, and try to find the joy in our situation.
Some common symbolic meanings are: Heightened awareness, Light heartedness, Enlightenment, Prayer, Divinity, Progress

Buddha Dreams

Posted by Picasa
AVAILABLE
Last night i had a strange dream. It was an image of myself painting a Buddha picture. Unlike any other dreams, this time it was so vivid, image and colors. When i woke up that morning, driven by impulse, i just had to paint my dream. It was something i can't explain or describe or have ever experienced in my life. Strange but true, weird but blissful rather hypnotic in a positive kind of way. The peculiar urge was so intense that two hours later, i had completed this piece, effortlessly. My first Buddha painting.

Mother & Child

24x24 inches
acrylic on canvas
SOLD
A mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that she makes.
And as their steps will grow to strides,
still a child, in mother's eyes.

Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.

She will pray to God to take care of her child,
to protect and guide them through every mile.

Her child is the very core of her soul,
from baby in arms to an adult they will grow.

For to a mother, her child will stay,
the precious infant she held that day.

Mother's Love

SOLD
Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother

Pray for Japan, Pray for all

NOT FOR SALE

What would it take for us to realise,
the things which are important in life,
and those which are not.

Do you believe in prayer?
that it brings HOPE, even when you think
it doesn't make a difference to the other side of the world?
Trust in God with all your heart.

The Marionette

The Marionette
AVAILABLE
Size: 20x20 inches
Acrylic on canvas

"The Marionette. I was a marionette. Lifeless, motionless and willing or not, able to live only in the hands and at the will of the master puppeteer. Pull one string my hand moves. Pull another my leg. Yet another my heart breaks. Pull them all at once, I was torn apart. I came a long way down a lonely, painful road. Searching for truth, finding only lies. Finding pain where pleasure should be, emptiness, not fulfillment". 
(extracted from the internet).



"How ridiculous I was as a Marionette! And how happy I am, now that I have become a real person/woman" ~ anon.

White Doves


'White Doves' (of divine love)
SOLD

I saw a band of God's angels today, as i knelt before my window to pray....
My thoughts of love were of you, for in my heart i felt that you were blue.
I asked God to please keep you safe, and place a sweet smile upon your face...
To let you know that i do love you, and my faith will be forever true.
He sent his angels to answer my prayer, to let me know how very much you care...
In a flock of white doves circling above, he showed me thoughts of your true love.

Moment filled with memories
She stoops to fix her shoe
Her heart is racing quickly
Her dress rehearsal due

Stage is like an ocean
Where crystals seems to shine
Beckons her to dance upon
Reflections of life's time....

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
