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.

Kebaya

Size: 36 x 48 inches/3ft x 4ft
Medium: acrylic on canvas
Year: 2013

Reserved

A Kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination that originates from Indonesia and worn by women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, southern Thailand. It is sometimes made from sheer material such as silk, thin cotton or semi-transparent nylon or polyester, adorned with brocade or floral pattern embroidery.

Apart from traditional kebaya, fashion designers are looking into ways of modifying the design and making kebaya a more fashionable outfit. Casual designed kebaya can even be worn with jeans or skirts. For weddings or formal events, many designers are exploring other types of fine fabrics like laces to create a bridal kebaya.

Size: 24 x 36 inches
Medium: acrylic on canvas
Year: 2013

♥Valentine's Day special♥

When you have that feeling
That you’re right where you belong
And the laughter of another
Becomes your favorite song

When you have that feeling
Of deep happiness within
From the time that you share
With a lover who is your friend

When you have that feeling
You’ve found the sweetest love
that you’ve ever known
Then finally you’re where you need to be
You’re right where you belong.

The Shy One

I loved you; and perhaps I love you still,
The flame, perhaps, is not extinguished; yet
It burns so quietly within my soul,
No longer should you feel distressed by it.

Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
At times too jealous and at times too shy.
God grant you find another who will love you
As tenderly and truthfully as I.

This painting is inspired by a photograph i saw on instagram. I like the colors and composition of the whole picture in addition to loving cats a whole lot. I have incorporated some pink ribbon details onto the "tatting" as my mum calls it, to celebrate the month of october which is breast cancer awareness month. A campaign which is very close to my heart.

The Punk Cat series

The Punk Cat, is a series of doodles based on my cat Isabeau and her mischevious antics. Rather popular among cat lovers, inconspicuous images or sillouette of the Punk Cat can be seen in a few of my artworks. (Isabeau has found a new loving home and no longer lives with me)
