This piece was painted from life alla prima as part of my daily warm up sessions.

This particular painting was of a canine's skull with a dreamcatcher.

A new fresh composition is quickly formulated each session and then this preliminary structure is quickly painted in with raw umber before laying in the darker shadows, lights.. making sure to create harmony by working, back and forth, on the whole piece at the same time. Careful attention is given to laying in the correct hues and tones straight away to keep the strokes fresh and not overworked.

Signed on the front, this piece has also been undeniably authenticated with my thumbprint in oil, signature and date on the back with archival pigment black ink.

Comes with a signed 'Certificate of Authenticity' and will be packaged for the best protection with padding in a sturdy box to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition. Recycled packaging material is used whenever possible.

Artist Profile

Born: 1980

Hometown: Kelantan

Based in: Selangor

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.
