Dreamscape(2020) 65 x 53 Oil on canvas​

In 2020, I painted “Dreamscape,” an abstract oil piece exploring surreal landscapes and subconscious emotions. The flowing colors and layered textures evoke a sense of drifting through a vivid, imagined world.

Lost
2022 (Series 1) 116.5 X 91 cm Oil on canvas​

Graduation Series: Painting 1 — Lost

This is the first piece in a two-part series titled Lost. It depicts a violent storm: dark, heavy clouds fill the sky, rain pours down in torrents, and powerful waves crash across the sea. My aim was to capture a cinematic atmosphere — that intense, breathtaking feeling I often experience while watching films.

The painting is a fusion of imagination, emotion, and real-life observation. I drew inspiration from moments when I witnessed stormy skies, restless seas, and the dramatic movement of air and water. The strong convection at the boundary between sea and sky plays a central role in the composition, emphasizing both the raw power of nature and the chaos it brings.

Graduation Series: Painting 2 — Lost

The second painting in this series portrays the calm after the storm. While working on the first piece, I had already envisioned a second — one that would complete the story and unify the two works into a cohesive series. The intensity and emotional weight of the first painting were so strong that I didn’t want to leave it unresolved. I felt compelled to paint what came after: the moment of stillness.

In this work, the sky shifts into an entirely different mood and palette. A soft light breaks through, offering a quiet contrast to the chaos that came before. Night has already fallen, and as you gaze out toward the sea, it has receded into darkness — silent and vast, like a breath held after a long storm.

Fish Tank Eyes (12.2023)
60 x 50
Oil on canvas​

It’s a gaze peering into a fish tank. In the dimness of night, lit only by the tank’s glow, a pair of eyes quietly admires the beautiful fish inside. There is a silent longing — a desire for something so beautiful, yet just out of reach. It’s so captivating that one can’t help but pause and watch.

The End of Death’s Road

The End of Death’s Road 2023 [Part One]
Oil on canvas​

I created a series of three paintings that explore my imagined vision of the end of death — a journey shaped entirely by my inner world.
The first piece is titled The Approaching Vortex. In everyday life, we rarely witness a vortex. To me, it symbolizes a bridge to another world — a portal that connects this reality to a completely different realm. In that realm, everything feels weightless, like air: light, floating, and untouchable.

The End of Death’s Road 2023 【Part Two】
Oil on canvas​

The second painting in the series expresses the despair people feel toward death.
When someone realizes they’ve crossed into another world, a deep sense of hopelessness sets in — something too overwhelming to accept right away. That world is cold and dim, stripped of warmth and light.
And what about the bottle of perfume beside the woman? It symbolizes the things we can’t take with us when we leave — and yet, we so desperately wish we could

The End of Death’s Road 2023 【Part Three】
Oil on canvas​

The third painting explores the idea of being unable to accept the truth — the unwillingness to leave this world behind.
When someone refuses to accept that they’ve passed on, they linger in the place they once called home, unable to move forward.
Caught between a world they no longer belong to and a reality they can’t let go of, they become what you see in this painting — invisible to the living, present but unseen.

Suspension 2024
61 × 91 cm
Oil on canvas​

This work is inspired by the threshold between calm and eruption — a state in which force accumulates gradually rather than emerging suddenly.
The painting reflects an understanding of intensity as a process, moving through quiet, tension, and subtle shift before reaching a critical point. Rather than depicting release, it lingers in the moment just before transformation, where energy is present but contained.
Through layered movement and restrained contrast, the work explores this in-between state — a suspension where stillness and momentum quietly coexist.

Vertical Silence (Merdeka 118) 2024
75 × 100 cm
Oil on canvas​

Vertical Silence (Merdeka 118) is inspired by the presence of the KL 118 Tower, an architectural form that has long held personal significance for the artist.
The work originates from an overcast moment in Kuala Lumpur, where a blue-grey sky and softened white clouds created a quiet, suspended atmosphere. A photograph taken during this walk served as a starting point rather than a direct reference.
Through layers of blue and white, the painting transforms the tower into an inward landscape shaped by emotion and sensory memory. Rather than emphasizing monumentality, the work explores restraint, softness, and a subtle, feminine strength held within vertical stillness.

Twin Presence 2025
75 × 100 cm
Oil on canvas​

Twin Presence is inspired by the Petronas Twin Towers. I am drawn to architecture as well as cinema, particularly the way films construct imagined, cinematic spaces. In this work, the towers are reinterpreted not as a literal structure, but as a film-like, virtual presence.
By merging physical architecture with an imagined cinematic atmosphere, the painting transforms a familiar landmark into a more ambiguous, emotional space. The architectural form becomes less about documentation and more about perception, mood, and experience.
The upward perspective plays an important role in the composition. In everyday life, tall buildings are often viewed from below, creating a sense of scale, tension, and awe. This habitual act of looking upward became one of the key visual inspirations for the work. Through this perspective, the painting invites viewers into a suspended moment between reality and imagination, offering a different visual experience and a distinct painterly language.

Forest Fragments 2025 [25X50 cm x 4 ]

Oil on canvas

This series begins with the blurred imagery of trees and water. Through a divided composition, the work creates a sense of space that feels both continuous and fragmented. The vertical forms of tree trunks intersect with the horizontal surface of water, forming a scene that exists somewhere between a real landscape and a fading memory.

Rather than depicting a specific location, the work explores a moment of perception—when standing in nature, where light, vision, and emotion merge together. In these moments, the landscape becomes less defined, gradually filtered through time and feeling. Through layering, wiping, and soft blurring, the surface develops a drifting quality, like a memory or a dream slowly unfolding.

The multi-panel format allows the landscape to extend across separated canvases. Each panel functions as an individual fragment while also contributing to a unified atmosphere. As viewers move their gaze from one canvas to another, they experience the work much like moving through fragments of memory.

The muted palette of blues and greens creates a quiet and contemplative mood. Within this subdued atmosphere, the landscape gradually transforms into a metaphor for an inner psychological space.

Low Horizon 2025
90 X 90cm
Oil on canvas​

Low Horizon explores a psychological landscape defined by compression and restraint. A lowered horizon and muted layers resist resolution, allowing stillness and weight to dominate the surface. The work reflects a state in which emotion settles rather than rises, framing silence as a sustained presence rather than an absence.

HOME

After the Rain 2025
50 X 59cm
Oil on canvas​

This work explores memory and atmosphere through an abstracted landscape inspired by a forest after rain.

Layered blues and softened forms create a cinematic sense of mist and distance, balancing stillness with quiet density. The image resists narrative specificity, focusing instead on mood and spatial sensation.

The painting functions as an inner landscape, offering a restrained and contemplative encounter with nature as remembered rather than observed.

HOME

Quiet Before the Tide 2025
90 X 120cm
Oil on canvas​

This painting is inspired by my imagined longing for the sea and the sky.

In nature, there are moments of calm, of quiet tension before release, and of gradual approach toward intensity. Rather than depicting a dramatic moment, I am drawn to a sense of calm that exists within these natural transitions.

Through this work, I imagine myself within different environments, experiencing a feeling of comfort and inner stillness. The painting represents a peaceful state I envision—one where calmness and nature merge—and I hope it offers viewers a similar sense of quiet and balance.
