In the studio in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Two traditions meet.
The discipline of Asian lacquer and the materiality of oil and pigment on canvas.
Color is prepared before painting. Pigments selected. Mixed. Tested.
On certain areas a layer is applied before drying is complete. Then sanded. Then polished.
Light circulates within the surface. It becomes matter.
This is how atmospheric abstraction is built — not as a concept but as a physical accumulation of decisions.
