UNDERSEA MOUNTAIN

Image
  Undersea Mountain , acrylic on canvas, 2024. 16.5" X 24" This painting is inspired by the documentary Wondrous Secrets Of The Ocean Realm: Mountain In The Sea , and depicts Indo-Pacific marine life in a large, mountain-like rock structure called a seamount. Supporting a wide range of biodiversity in the painting, the seamount represents strength and solidity as it withstands the changes in ocean currents caused by eddies. It also symbolizes dreams and hopes in a sea of possibilities.

  Vibrant Migration , acrylic on canvas, 2024. 24" X 16.5" The artist showcases the five species of sea turtle found in Malaysian waters and places them in a scene inspired by the  sea turtle migration scene from the film, Finding Nemo . The five species are the leatherback ( Penyu Belimbing ); green sea ( Penyu Agar ); hawksbill ( Penyu Karah ); loggerhead ( Penyu Tempayan ); and olive ridley ( Penyu Lipas ). The various species of sea turtles and their young come together follow the current in a migration route, implying their journeys being shaped by similar forces toward a common goal. The "vibrance" refers to the colors of the turtles and the lively activity of the baby turtles.
