-----------------------------------------------------
'Duality of Mind' ponders the dual nature of one's consciousness and the often uncertain, constantly shifting times that we live in, that creates a feeling of dissonance and limbo as the self tries to navigate and find clarity in the infoxication that surrounds it. Harmony, wholeness and unity is strived for to shift the self towards new possibilities, focus and directions as this discordance is overcome.
Several elements were used to convey this concept, including that influenced by the abstract minimalist compositions of traditional Japanese & Chinese ink paintings using 'yohaku' blank spaces, and the ancient symbolism of circles and the number 7.

I have been incredibly lucky to be able to create art as my professional vocation for more than 15 years. Being able to explore and delve into this passion deeply full time, is a gift I am continually grateful for...
Style: I tend to lean towards realistic renderings with abstraction coming into play to hopefully create exciting & mentally stimulating pieces.. The human form is one of my favourite subjects at the moment but I am on a continuous journey of creative discovery in style and content..
Inspiration: Being of Anglo-Indian descent and growing up in the urban multi racial & cultural, sunny shores of Malaysia has undoubtedly shaped my worldview and driven me to always try to represent diversity in my work as much as possible. My conceptual pieces are usually developed and inspired by what lurks within the pages of my second love - books, and the inevitable influences of the unique and 'exciting' times we live in.. I see the persistent honing of my artistic skills as integral to creating, and exploring and developing my skills in differing mediums and techniques is one of the many amazing and ever inspiring parts of the process.
Distinctions: Featured & interviewed on Hypp TV 'The Art Gallery' in 2013, which features some of the most promising emerging & established artists in Malaysia.
